Oh, What A Time!

Oh what a time was a childhood

To have had true happiness

And never known it

And what a time is an adulthood

To laugh at childhood

To yearn for true happiness

And never own it

Oh what a time was a youth

To have dreamt of success

And magnificent glory

And what a time is an old age

Ripping apart the blinding illusions

And showing you the true worth

Of your self aggrandized story

Oh what a time was a success

To have missed out on life.

Just to earn it

And what a time is a failure

To run after success

To be surrounded by truth

And never learn it

Oh what a time was Life

To have given up so much

And lost so much

And yet to live it

And what a time is a Death

To acquire so much

And possess so much

And yet we have nothing but ourselves,

To give it
