Don’t waste this time
Making a New Year’s resolution
Or debating God’s creation
Versus Darwin’s evolution
Don’t waste this time
Observing thy neighbor
Or coveting blessings
And the fruits of their labor
Don’t waste this time
Concealing infamy or shame
Or fixating on circumstances
From whence you came
Don’t waste this time
Enabling negative seasons
Or giving permanence to gloom
In search of profound reasons
Don’t waste this time
Deferring dreams and goals
Or neglecting faith in promises
Of what the future holds
Don’t waste this time
Denying wisdom and truth
Or chasing all the joys
Accomplished during youth
Don’t waste this time
Resurrecting issues now dead
Or awaiting those words
Left unwritten and unsaid
Don’t waste this time
Contemplating love
Or debating revelations
And the hate thereof
