Don't Waste
Don’t Waste
Don’t waste what you must
Even destined to spend,
Make your Legacy cast
Be upon earthly Land,
Where’s struggled and breathed
Timely Fire of Yours –
Let your Autumn be wreathed
After Spring’s been like Rose!..
Circles of Movements’re open
Structured in parallel, –
Don’t make down and slow,
Don’t say “Very well”,
When it seems pretty bad, –
Lie will not you conform:
And on fake don’t bet,
Let it even be a “Norm”!..
Obligation of Time –
Glimpses evaluate,
Putting Hours in Rhyme;
Days and Years to rate.
This is Duty of Joy –
Keeping mindful regards:
Let it first Time annoyed –
But the Last gets its Charts!..
