Because

Time marches on

It stops for no one

There is no buggy

With death inside

Waiting to pick you up

You blink away

Years at a time

And nothing ever slows

There is no reason

Nothing to comfort you

Or your valid worries

If you ask time why

It functions as it does

You will not like the answer

Even if you ask nicely

With added pomp and flair

It just looks to you

With somber eyes

And simply says

Because
