Untouchable Time

by chloe   Jul 5, 2013


Time wears down the hardest of souls,
Beckons warriors to fall on the swords,
Turns youth grey and wiser still,
Takes life and health and leaves some ill,
Yes, time, the most powerful thing of all,
The thing that no one can control,
Is the very thing that keeps us sain,
To know not everything is in our rein,
That we will never have the power,
To take back the unforgiving hour,
We know that no matter how hard we try,
Time will keep on ticking by,
If we had control what would we do?
Sell to those richer,
Take from those who have few,
Something IMPOSSIBLE to screw up,
Only possible to waste,
Somehow gives peace of mind,
And the time keeps passing by.

    Hi....

    "Takes life and health and leaves some ill,
    Yes, time, the most powerful thing of all,"
    -ilove those lines... bout time...

    really no one can ever control the time...

    but im confused bout the 2 words..

    "sain," and "rein"

    coz there were also "sane" and "reign"..

    maybe "sane" is the preferred one...i dont know bout rein and reign..

    rein...is to restrain or pulling the reins of horse to slow it down..

    reign..the period of rule or pertaining to monarchy...

    but obviously both words have some similar meaning specifically in terms of controlling...

    overall...WELL DONE... =)
