Time Wasted Poem by Cameron Brooks

Every morning when she awakes
she puts a smile upon her face
to hide away the heart-ache

wrapped in beauty smiles and jewels
covering the truth and sorrow
to walk the halls with thoughtless fools
to last through the day and awake tomorrow

she waves and greets each person gone by
to end each day with a lingering cry
to linger on year after year
as she wipes away tear after tear

moronic fools are we today
to live each day and never say
never say what makes us cry
and waste each day as time goes by.
