Wasted

so many hours wasted
clocks yet to be mended
stuck in endless time
ticking in morbid chime
how much more to count?

so many seasons wasted
the summer sun drifted
rain splashed the air
winter left nature bare
how much more to feel?

so many visions wasted
dreams that never lasted
plans to reach up high
too fantastic to buy
how much more to see?

so many emotions wasted
laughter remains dreaded
distress wins the game
anger bursts into flame
how much more to show?

so many memories wasted
photos torn and wounded
capturing the moments
recalling their absence
how much more to create?

so many lives wasted
fights yet to be battled
survival is the only aim
no one taking the blame
how many more to be born?
