Time Poem by Vincent Igwilo

Even though you run so fast
Yet everything gets accomplished
We your children race up to you on appointment
But wish you keep running during boredom

Lovers want you to be a snail
While inmate wish you were flash
Nature loves your pace
'Cause you're so natural

The ticking which keeps reminding me of home
And thy world so unending
Please drag on the days of my emergency
And give me a clarion call during danger

Even though you are not within my reach
You've thought me diligence
Oh! Procrastination created alongside thee to teach the lazy thy value

I may not want to acknowledge thy power
But my surrounding reminds me of your presence
My heartbeat, footsteps and the one I love teach me of your existence

Woe to those who ignore thee
For they shall pay very soon
As I go to sleep
Tell the sun when to lit up my room.
