Callous

why do we hold time so cheap,
while clinging to the material
with desperate fingers;

it cannot be purchased again,
yet we discard it
as children with a toy
that no longer
holds their interest;

what could be more interesting to us
than how we allocate
our time;
this great treasure,
treated as though it were nothing,
we allow for intrusions and thefts –
encouraging them even –

who are we
to be so callous
with time
