One Time Poem by kente lucy

One Time



We want our hearts to never stop beating,
It will stop one time and we can't do anything

However much
We beg our nostrils and lungs,
To inhale and exhale air,
One time they will not be able to do so.

However much we adorn ourselves,
with all the gold and silver
at one time we will not need them anymore.

With money we say we can get anything,
But at that time money will be nothing
Will not be able to rescue us from the
Mischievous criminal of all time,
That ugly state of nothingness.

We love to move our bodies in every way
But time is coming when we can't even lift a finger
To chase away the fly that wants to feast on us
But just lie there motionless.

We love to fill loved by our people
But Gosh time is coming when even
Our own will want us no more
But rather be afraid and wants to get
Rid of you as soon as and as fast as they can.

We love the world and everything in it, we cling so dearly
To it, but it will quietly flee our grip and let go
Of each one of us at our appointed time.

Worst of it all is that no one knows
His/her appointed time and to where we are headed
When we are no longer part of this world
Anytime is the time, now is the
Time to prepare for that unknown time.
Oh Gosh, one time we shall one by one be no more ……..
