Time's Up, Diva, Time's Up, Hey! Poem by Raheel Farooq

Time's up, Diva, time's up, hey!
Get me younger as you play.

Here's the day and here's the way.
Walk away or will you stay?

Knowledge is what actions say,
Not what wanton words portray.

Yesterday is certainty;
Ah, tomorrow, oh, today!

Let's remember that we love;
Let's forget the price we pay.

I don't know the good from bad:
That I know and still I pray.

Irony is life alone:
Not a problem, not okay.

How come masterpiece is you?
I'm the artist, I'm the clay.

Lo, the star in dark, Raheel!
Ray of hope and hope of ray.
