The Fall

Time marches on

cutting a swathe across humanity,

not the quicksand of death,

nor the currents of life,

slows it down.


It never stops.

The beating heart of all of man’s achievements,

or the reckless indifference 

to his very own survival.


It has borne witness

to his rise, and rise, and rise,

as it now gazes upon

his stupidity 

and fall.


Time is in unlimited supply,

the irony of which,

from all reports, is that

man seems to have

so little of it left.
