Time marches
Things change
People age

Time flies
Things fade

People perish

Time stops
Everything stops
Lives freeze

There is no doubt in all of our minds
That time moves with a single and steady purpose
In a world with multiple intents

In our infinite foolishness
We measure time minute by minute
While time moves past us second by second

In our infinite stupidity
We yell Carpe Diem
In a futile attempt to seize time

In the end a realization dawn on us
That time lives in another universe
That cannot be touched or captured by us

The movie "Dead Poets Society" inspired me to write this poem. I hope that people will learn to seize the moment/day and make everyday seem like their last day because everyday is special.
