Time is a powerful being with all in its grasp
It takes what it wants
It shows you how small you are compared to it
It may make you,
It may ruin you.
It whips you and beats you down until you are nothing but a husk of a person,
but you can't let it.
Take that beating each day, and work it towards success
Work it to be your ally, not your master which rules upon you.
When you see that clock whizzing by like a speed demon, realize that you can make each moment count.
Self-improvement, family time, hobbies.
Sink your teeth into the juicy flesh of life.
Make every moment count, because one day, it will most definitely be stripped from you.
There is no doubt about it.
Make the most of the time you have left.
Great poem Eli! This is a very good point that we should make the most of the time that we have right now. The metaphors you used were really amazing. Great writing!

You are an incredibly wise philosopher and poet for someone your age or someone of any age. Great and meaningful poem. I especially love this line: "Sink your teeth into the juicy flesh of life."
I will try and live your thoughts....
