What Is Time? Poem by Simon Odhiambo

What time is it?
Is a simple question to answer
A watch, a calendar or may be a clock
May help with the response
But what is time?

Someone said
Time is a movement
But how far does it move?
Why does it move, and for how long?
Do we follow time, or time follows us
What is time? I ask

How far is East from West?
How far do I go before South becomes North?
Is yesterday, today and tomorrow really worth the time?
What is time? I ask
Is it always with us?
It may take time to explain...
