Analysis of 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!..
