The twenty-fifth hour
If it comes, let it come before I know
Or Lord, that one hour will stand upon rest.
And I won’t see the rest ones below,
But the one above all will steal my zest
Let me not be the slaughterer of thousands,
Bribed and enticed just for the sake of one.
Let me not forget to live the seconds,
Within the ace of the life’s ending run.
The ruler of foliage, the holder of seas
Even for a day, yet shall I become
And I’ll let the sparks dwindle with the breeze
That my twenty-fifth hour is yet to come.
To witness the world, I came for a day
And my dearest last hour fades me away!

I believe that living more time is better than living for more time, and to let the mankind feel it, a creature called mayfly or one-day insect is there in the world. It comes for a day, enjoys, dances, mates and dies.
