You had a plan
like every man
A calculated scheme
You studied
You dwelled
Smiled with a beam
And those days
Did pass
Long and slow
Your days ticked off
One by one
Below
Your future
Passing
Day by day
Those hours
Ticking by
In every changing sky
What now
My life is passing
I’m living
A little lie
The future
Is now my past
Gone forever
I’m in the future
What have
I done?
Who can answer
Why I feel so glum
The truth is easy
It seems so clear
Live today
Your best
For future is a folly
Not a great quest
