And Time

This passage of time
drips out too quickly
and me yet to accomplish anything.
I haven't helped the poor or healed the sick,
have not become the change I wish for in this world
just played the silly games
in their purposeless brevity.
Yet nothing lasts for long
but the wind breaking over the stones
of this dying planet
with its bleeding sun hanging limp at half mast.
