Time is perplexing - it seems to fly yet also sit still. While time marches on, carrying the world on its shoulders and stealing away youth, perhaps time does not truly move at all. Time may be an illusion of the mind, with past, present and future occurring simultaneously. Ultimately, the nature of time is more complex than initially thought, as people have long debated whether time flies or stands still.

Time certainly seems to be ephemeral Yet this question is not to be posed lightly For what we establish from this quandary Will change our notion of the world we live in, our inner being and outer boundaries Another day now starts new, early, and bright The sun rises over the mountains afar Pushing back shadows of the retreating night Time takes a breath and springs to life, now anew It rises, carries the world on its shoulders The cities and the places hard to get to It steals away curiosity and youth It plunders their sureness and their confidence Until all that remains is the bitter truth It fills lives with nostalgia and regret With ideas and dreams that never came true A lifetime of mistakes they cannot forget Finally, it hands them over to their fates To their endless torment in the dead of Hell To the heavens above and its pearly gates Is Time really that - tirelessly moving on? Perhaps Time never really moves at all That which is cursory is not really gone The past, the present, and the future combined All events occurring, all warnings heeded All inputs acknowledged, all viewpoints opined A mere illusion - just a trick of our minds Time is flashes in a stream of consciousness A limit by which our esprit is defined Life and death are one, wealth and poverty, too The winners and the losers are all the same So are the crowds of many and groups of few So time flies like an arrow - or perhaps not Nobody's quite certain just how it works It is more perplexing than anyone thought From steppes to plains, from prairies to savannas, People have always doubted how Time flies, but One thing is true - fruit flies like a banana.
