The Hourglass

Choices, Choices 

Now, then, later, NOW!!! 

Time doth not well with thee 

 

Is this a fork I see before me? 

At the road side, which I take? 

Both so the same 

 

Which is right 

Which is wrong 

Perhaps the coin shall tell 

 

Cards can't fell  

But can see and touch 

make a person mad 

 

The hourglass goes 

not with sand, but tears 

or blood 

 

Be warned, stranger

Be bold,  it seems slow 

Beware it cruelly swift 

 

Choices given little mercy 

when Time stands before 

Forever or never
