TIME MARCHES ON READY OR NOT

They say that time marches on ready or not
Time will continue it's journey regardless
It takes no notice of what mankind may want

We wish we could have more time during events
Trying to take care of our personal problems
A debt we owe or finding a cure for an illness

Sometimes it's mother nature's fury striking
Say a tornado or hurricane that will not wait
For us to quickly gather up our possessions

Maybe it was in war that time would not wait
As you ran for the bunkers to avoid rockets
Or to a defensive position not quite finished

We always seem to want time to change for us
For it to go faster while waiting for something
Or to slow down when we want to avoid something

Regardless of any ones wishes, hopes or dreams
Time is blind and deaf to any of our own wishes
As they have said Time Marches On Ready Or Not

The length of our own time that we live here on the earth is
not known to anybody but God and we all will eventually some
day die at the prescribed time and place known only to God,
not by some Mayan calendar or some false profits prediction.
Yet it seems everyone wants at some point in their lives to
alter the speed of time to fit their own special situations or
their own special needs, nobody here on our earth can change
time in any way shape or form. I think that instead of us all
wanting to change time to fit our own needs that we should try
using whatever time we have left here on Earth to learn what
we can and to use the lessons to help our fellow human beings
out when we can instead of wasting all of that precious time
that we do have left here by being so self-centered or to just
try to look out for only our own needs and desires in life. I
truly believe and think that in the end we will all be judged
by how well we had used our time here on Earth to help others,
not just ourselves and time will still march on ready or not
without any bias for or against any of our own desires or our
own wishes in life.
