People, spend their time
Like it ain’t worth a dime
Are not aware of the self
Let alone their other half

Make no mistake!
You can’t **** time
But it sure can
And will **** you

Providing
A new slant
Takes trying
Till you can’t

Humanity’s great accumulations
Over the course of a million years
Via slowest, tiniest contributions
Were generated layers by layers

To see your entity’s why and how
For a quick second, please stop!
Being around for some time now
Tell me! What did you put on top

Heartless ones too, in fact
Could die of heart attack

A child not raised properly is
The cause of most future ills
