TIME

I take permit from
nobody to live
And take the world to my hand as a globe.
Oh God, You only
Courage, dare – give,
I will show myself to death, I hope.
That’s it.
I couldn’t call to mind my past,
At the time I promised long – to live.
With many defamations
And pretexts
The Time didn’t justify belief!
