Time Travails

The bygones have gone by

Departing with a heavy sigh

The leftovers joined the queue

Time has no feelings for you

The tales we told years ago

Come back to say hello

Swept in by history’s brush

Time is always in a rush

Forever saying goodbye

History won’t look you in the eye

Unless you’re looking back

Time is a desert track

The past is the future’s prey

It keeps nothing at bay

The human race runs too fast

Yet Time, will never be last

Lots of enjoyable rhythm and seemingly simple rhyme tied together nicely with repetition under a clever, eye-catching title. 

Thank you, Smokejack.
