No Time for Poetry

     Life is way too short and I'm finally beginning to see
The time's forever fleeing, there's no time for poetry
Your words just drop like water pouring from a cloud
Diluting into puddles to never make a sound

Life is here and gone and all of us agree
Time's the precious gift, not the poetry
Words get swept like dust into the busy street
When all is said and done, There's no time for poetry
