THE MURDER OF PATIENCE (poetry)


.... Written by Poetic Tee " Here, take a sip" 

Youths
many don't trust
in the future
nor do they believe
in it
but they do
only in this hour
so live every second
just for the moment.

Already aware
that elusively
"Tomorrow never comes"
they rush into
living life in now, even
beyond a full 24 hours
before the upper lid
engages the lower
in a slumbering embrace.

Having the impression
patience is an illusion
that when the eyes
close in sleep
there'll be no today
when awakeness
stirs them up again
in another tomorrow,
Oops... today.

Yet, after a resltless rest
their shutters
open to reveal
a brand new day
proving them wrong
again and again. For
what patience gives one not
the murder of it
can never achieve.
