I wish I could bottle the passion and motivation that my younger self had. I could use a sip of that every now and then. I love the slang and the reference to one of my favorite songs, Jodeci “Get On Up.” This poem was written on August 25, 1996.
Time Is Not Forever
Time is not forever
If you want something
Do it right now
No time to waste
No time to sit down
“Get On Up”
Like Jodeci said
If you can’t, shut up
Let others have theirs
Time is not forever
So while you can
Get it together
Go for yours
While you can
If you can’t
Don’t blame “the man”
Cause time is not forever
While you have the chance
Get it together.
