"No matter what anyone tells you, words and ideas can change the world." -Robin Williams, Dead Poet's Society


Time:
a magnificently crafted facade
of human design.

  -A hoax conceived
to give order
                                                                              to our bustling lives
                                                       and meticulous tasks.
Time:
demanding deadlines-
a catalyst for anxiety:
a man-made enzyme.
                -We run around in a frenzy
                           controlled by time-
                              so scared of losing it
                                     that we fail to make it worthwhile.
Time:
absolutely meaningless
if it distracts us from appreciating
the sublime things in life.
               
                -What does “Time” mean
                           in a barren wasteland
                            devoid of everything
                                    it once held prisoner?
       
            The answer is simple:
                                   Nothing.

The answer to our cries is just as simple:
        If we choose to live for ourselves-
                If we just choose to take moments as they come-
                          Oh, If only we would choose to LIVE WITHOUT BARRIERS….

Then Time
                Will Melt
                                Into Insignificance.

Not sure if the form will stay when I copy and paste it, but I tried to make it look like a melting pattern.
