ADVICE FROM ONE OF TIME'S ALL TIME GREATEST ASSASSINS

As the sands of time fall into the insatiable chamber of insanity

We can be certain of very few things in the confusing journey of life

Except that each and every passing moment will be long gone

While glimpses of happy and sublime times,  pain and darkness

Remain in the neural pathways of our burning, overclocked brains

Time does not wait around for the indolent to take action

Nor does it take mercy on those who repeat the same history through and through

The fate of the fool who does the same thing over and over again

And waits around complacently expecting a totally different result

As a drifter who has wasted half his life running to the same dead ends

I implore every one of us to make the most of each and every day

For each moment could very well be your very last in this realm of purgatory

Yes time waits for nobody and it can sweep you aside effortlessly

If you allow it to tick on over without putting in your very best effort

And before you know it most of your life has gone past in a blurry flash

As painful memories and failures past and present torment you each and every day

This is a reflection on a life only half lived at the best of times

The same old sad story playing on loop like a broken record

But if you were to scratch the surface like a skilled turntabalist does

You may begin to see the infinite possibilities which life itself offers

And actually create that which the heart desires and the mind conceives of

As you live each and every moment to the edge of the boundary of full

And not lay to waste all the potential you always held in your hands

From day one in the ground zero that was once the wreckage of your life

So waste not another moment while you are still alive and kicking

And heed the advice of one of time's most highly skilled assassins

Don't allow the ghosts of past defeats to haunt you and drag you down into oblivion

Or before you know it you find yourself drowning in a sea of despair and resignation

To all that you cannot retrieve from the ashes of yesterday's failures

For half a lifetime can go by in the blink of an eye out for an eye

Let go of all fear, self-loathing and hatred for your enemies as best that you can

For life is too short for one to be caught up in these roadblocks to time well spent
