'' With Time You Cannot Interfere '' Poem by Bri Mar

Time is our enemy yet it’s also our friend,
Yes it can kill but it also can mend,
It marks our beginning as well as the end,
Yes bring us joy as well as fear.

It has an effect on our daily routine,
Dictating our world with no in between,
Time can be kind as well as mean,
We’ve no choice but to persevere.

The time keeps us warm or can make us cold,
It’s with us from young until we are old,
By this strange entity everything’s controlled,
Though invisible it just won’t disappear.

With all it entails we’ve became over obsessed,
As the issues surrounding it must be addressed,
The very fact time can leave us distressed.
Shows its power can be so severe.

You can guarantee it’s full of surprises,
It does come in many shapes and sizes,
To some it’s kind while others it despises,
Complicated yet also austere.

Time as we know it is a human invention,
Though how it works was not our intention,
Problems caused are too numerous to mention,
Though the idea was truly sincere.

Take the clock of life as one example,
Over our expectations it can and will trample,
Ask for more time it’ll say you’ve had ample,
It’s time you were no longer here.

Everything alive is monitored by time,
From a tiny seed to us in our prime,
Some would say it should be classed as a crime,
Especially when the end is near.

Though time can heal it can also bring grief,
Bring on sadness yet also relief,
With regards to our existence it’s a bit of a thief,
It’s the ultimate final frontier.

It resembles a child it will not stand still,
Though precious it can also be a bitter pill,
To listen to our pleas it does not have the will,
With an attitude that is cavalier.

At some point we all wish our lives away,
Wishing it was tomorrow instead of today,
But hindsight never did hold any sway,
Time does have the ability to sneer.

The amount you are given does not last forever,
Abusing what you have is not very clever,
Taking it slowly must be your endeavour,
Before you know it, it will disappear.

It has no interest in how it makes you feel,
Against the ravages of time there is no appeal,
Contrary to belief it doesn’t always heal,
With its rules we all must adhere.

Time is a power we can never hold back,
From the day life’s created we are under attack,
Once it has gone you can’t bring it back,
