Questions of Time

Tick Tock... Tick Tock...

If time would be the universal currency,
how valuable would it be?

How do you gain time if you can not prolong it
nor slow it down to your favor, 

if you can not take it back nor move ahead of it?

Time... how is it that you can spend it but can not keep it?
Is it really possible then, to actually save time?

Mankind shows constant fascination with the idea
of infinity... of immortality...

There are religious dogma of life after death, 

of karma... of reincarnation...
of supposed miracles of bilocation, multilocation even.... 

There are fantasies of zombies, vampires,
time travel and other supernatural lifeforms... 

all manifesting man's desire to be timeless.

Love songs and poems speak of time... all the time.

Leaders' profound elocution about time, quoted numerous times.

But what is it really?

Time is constant change.

But do people really change?

Or do they just grow old...

and a handful learn to adapt... in time?

 One thing I am certain...

everyone will run out of it, sooner or later.

I hope for the latter.
