Purgatory

A poem

Waking up time passes on
The clocks tick moves me along
Yesterday feels like today is tomorrow
The present was here
Where has it gone
It's in the past where your future belongs

A bundle of Styx thrown into the river
Under the water, it all becomes clearer
Tears shown above are hidden below
Mourning for a time that won't return
Just shut up and watch the world burn

Have you heard the news
Move along before you get trapped
You take more than you give back
No time for grief for the future lost
Follow the folly
Don't question or consider
Those who lead always stand and deliver

It's all a joke; the weeping man smiles
Laugh with me; it's better than dying
The reaper leans over
A wager for you
What's worth more
The future or you?
