Wasted

As I listen to the ticking of the clock, Tick, Tock the depths of my mind rocks as thoughts are pushed forward but I don’t give them life because I am upset with what life has given me, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, I still hear that clock but I give it no attention because what it fails to mention is the time I spent trying to get what I want and need so that I can succeed….I’m living my life for me! Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick Tock…will someone unplug that clock, I’ve got enough distractions going on without that ticking and clicking I am now switching into overdrive while trying to survive in this world where only the best of the best thrive, my status in society has placed me on a high stride and I gotta maintain while trying to contain all this hurt and pain, I’ll have to deal with that later because my main focus right now is on my pockets getting greater, you say to stop and acknowledge the Creator, yeah, that too I’ll do later because he aint going nowhere so step aside so I can get where I need to go…..chilling with the Who’s Who of the Who and Who I need to know….tick tick tick tick tock tock tock tock, somebody needs to fix that clock , that thing is ticking mighty fast but in the mean time I’m having a blast doing what young people do….partying and having fun….coming in with sun….neglecting responsibility because I got Time to live my life the way I please…..BAAM!!! Is this a bad dream…I’m standing in front of this gate that is pristine clean, I close my eyes and shake my head trying not to look but when I opened them again there was this Big Book….that’s when it really clicked….I no longer heard the tock or the tick of that clock that seemed to irritate me so and then a voice like a trumpet began to blow asking what did I do with all the time I was given…why is it that I chose to drive when I should have been driven? I had no explanation…..then came my condemnation as I watched my life story play before me….all the warnings….I should have listened….but instead I took for granted what God was doing….I paid it no attention…..I was allowed a chance to redeem the time that was WASTED…but I didn’t take it….I could have been more than just another Life WASTED….but look at what I made it….and now I’m standing here in shock, remembering that God is not to be mocked….TICK, TOCK….I wish I could hear that Clock.
