There really is not much time
To live on this planet
For all human kind
Even if one were to live
Close to a thousand years
As recorded in the Old Testament
Yes a thousand years
Is quite a long time to live
But one hundred
Now that is what most people
Hope to live now days
For those who want to live long
And yes
That may seem a long time
But if a year goes by like a month
It amounts to what may seem
Only about a decade of life
Slowly but surely
Tik tok tik tok
And for those who are
Fortunate enough to have a job
Make decent money
And only work part of the day
All that extra time outside of work
Is spent on sleeping
Eating or engaged in some type
Of hobby or pleasure
Some more than others
Depending on the time available
But much of the time remaining
Is spent doing nothing
But stimulating the senses
While awake
Taste, sight, sound, and touch
Perhaps not so much scent
Wasting precious time
Doing nothing
Other than to fill
The void of time
