A reflection on Life!! It's going faster and faster. HELP !!!

Time
Do you ever feel impelled along by forces over which you have no control?
Time is speeding up it seems or else we`re getting old,
Before our time , too I might add , or so it seems to be.
As we see the weeks and months fly by and the years just seem to flee.

Is it just the way we live nowdays that makes time seem to fly,
So many things going on at once, moments rush on by,
Where have those quiet moments gone when we could take our ease,
To enjoy the fragrance of a rose or feel an evening breeze.


Every moment must be filled with something to see or do,
Instant vision on the box, brings the world to me and you,
Rushing on from place to place scarce time to take things in,
Until our brain is in a whirl, our mind is in a spin.

Instant meals and instant drinks designed to save us time,
Hardly time to shut our eyes to enjoy some sleep sublime,
Before the sounding of the alarm sends us rushing on,
Into a day of frantic haste, which suddenly is gone.

Even little children now wonder why the days go by so fast,
Not much time for babyhood, childhoods quickly past,
Adulthoods being thrust upon you, so you can join the throng,
Of busy people saving time and rushing right along.

Yes time does fly every passing day and we have less and less,
Time to spend in doing things that would ease the stress,
Of filling days with needless haste, ever rushing on,
Until our time has come at last and we`re forever gone. Like time.
