Sentenced to Time

Time is all encompassing
consuming everything in it's view,
so precious to it's subjects
whilst disregarded daily.

Too much time for some
barely enough for others,
perspective is it's partner in crime,
eternity in the blink of an eye.

Freedom to roam at will
seems at first glance
to be the ultimate utopia,
imprisoned in solitude.

As eternal darkness closes in
the craving for time climaxes,
like an addiction unrivaled
by any drug known to man.

But time is the ultimate master
it cannot be reasoned with,
neither God nor the Devil
can stop the inevitable march.

Of time.
