UNMINDFUL OF TIME

Out of the nature that surrounds
And the world that turns around
Day and night set the mode
To work or rest when it's sound.
Time works to nature's need
Evolving life takes time indeed.
Those who live urban ways
Want speedy lives, and ready meals.
Forget the required time for
Life to develop, plants to grow
Cattle and sheep to graze.
Time for children and maize to grow
Jungles breath and oceans breed.
For seasons to arrive and produce
Grow the seeds to edible feed.
It matters not where it was sowed
Only time for it to grow.
Time is integral to life.
Mindful we must be of time
Less it will leave us behind.
