A pantoum poem.

Tyrannical time

by royowen

Why does pernicious time exist,
why does its pointless pact persist?
This tyrant's rule exacerbates.
it never ever venerates.

Why does its pointless pact persist,
with death all hope it doth resist.
It never ever venerates,
short life it always celebrates.

With death all hope it doth resist,
when old or young, fate keeps its tryst.
Short life it always celebrates
it never will procrastinate.

Why does its pointless pact persist?
This tyrant's rule exacerbates.
It never will procrastinate.
Why does pernicious time exist?
