just how many minutes have I killed

in my life time

like some senseless slaying upon

the mound

cold deaths unasked for in their

sheltered masses

as shallow graves of people like

seconds are thrown to the wolves

of barely contained boredom

its all but a hopeless ponder

unanswered by modern man with all his

new age technology

so much chronological waste with so

little thought spared for its eventual

mortality

everyone is to blame for these constant

and repetitive murders

busywork is not whats needed to help

fill the dulling spaces of time

construction of some type of individual

productivity is what should be engineered

to replace the incessant thumb twiddling

we each at some point or another tend to do

my own personal answer as of late has been

quite simply Poetry

it keeps the mysteries of the mind active

as it accumulates reason out of insanity

and confusion

until in the end its small pockets of left

over time are indeed well spent

Bravo!

for me

I stand up all too proudly to say

I have put a stop to my petty excuses for

such homicide and came up a better way to

occupy 'The Gentle Lull Of Time's Passing'........
