There Is Always Less Time.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

creativity also says with both hands
banging its chest
'there is so much to do but there is
less time to do it'

living is always only for the moment
tomorrow is just a thought just like yesterday
a moment not remembered
the other one does not like to remember

'we mellowed down' quips the ripe
pomelo which has only a minute more to go
before it lands on the grass below.

'we didn't even have life' concludes the stone
stuck on the ground

'we are human beings, spare us some
more time; we have unfinished business'
thus pray the senior citizens
at Abbey Home.
