Why are you so cruel?-Poem of the week-44

Why are you so cruel?

Time, O cruel Time!

Why are you so heartless?

Why are you so callous?

Have you ever think on that?

With your sharp sword,

you cut my childhood.

You cut my youth so brutally.

You are waiting to kill me,

on the time you decided.

But I still respect you.

I respect you,

for your dutifulness,

for your sincerity.

I know, you are only,

honest and fair.
