Tik-Tok | Anna Brasher - Appreciate Language and Form through the Best Contemporary Poetry

Tik-Tok | Anna Brasher

There’s not one of us today
Who can…’Make Time’…or stop its play
Tik-Tok…another second gone
Tik-Tok…a moment without song

Every second we’re alive
No longer cavemen…just survive
So ‘Taking Time’…is what we…choose
To waste away…or even use

Sometimes we need time…just to think
Moments to stare…not even blink
Sometimes we while our time away
On endless chores…our life…delayed

When someone dies we often say
‘Life is too short…invest in play’
Be with our families even more
For time is numbers…keeping score

Mostly we ‘Take Time’…as we need
To laugh and cry…to work and feed
What if we focused a little more
Making a difference…for those we so adore

Don’t ‘Waste Time’…on what doesn’t count
Challenge yourself…your fears surmount
Harness support…for a worthwhile cause
Let time’s Tik-Tok…be your applause
