What a cruel thing,

That we all think we have so much,

Yet have none at all.

Money,

Joy,

Family,

Friends.

We seek them all and count ourselves victors

When we get them.

But we are lying,

To our family,

Friends,

Peers,

Even ourselves.

Because no matter how much we give or take

Victory scorns at us,

Our foolishness.

Because

Just when we believe we have won,

Who is crowned victor?

The same as always,

Time.
