WHERE ARE THE PYRAMIDS

WHERE ARE THE PYRAMIDS

 

TIME NO LONGER ABLE TO BUILD

JUST A TIME OVERLAPPING

AS SECONDS OVERLAP SECONDS

AND EVERY SECOND NOT HAVING ANSWERS

AS EVERY SECOND HAS MANY QUESTIONS

TODAY THERE IS ONLY TIME TO BUILD

NOT LIKE THE YESTERYEARS

SECONDS THAT SEEM LIKE USELESS PENNIES

JUST THERE WITH NOTHING THEY CAN DO

PEOPLE THAT WORK TILL THEY DROP

NEVER GAINING ANYTHING, ONLY LOSING WHATS DUE

A TIME THAT CONTINUES TO OVERLAP LIVES

AS THE SECONDS TURN TO MINUTES  

AND MINUTES TURN TO HOURS

TIME NOW AGAIN SEEMS TO BE BUILDING

SO WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING

SO WHAT AM I BUILDING

AND SO WHO ARE WE

ARE WE BUILDING OUR PYRAMIDS

ONE BRICK OR STONE AT A TIME

ARE WE BUILDING OUR FAMILIES

EACH SECOND OR MINUTE OF A DAY

WITH PENNIES OR A DIME

WHAT EVER WE ARE BUILDING

WE BUILD FROM OUR VERY OWN DREAMS

ALTHOUGH MOST CAN NOT

THEIR DREAMS ARE ALL THEY HAVE

THEIR LOVE IS FROM ALL THEIR DREAMS

YET PYRAMIDS CANNOT BE BUILT IN A DAY

AND EACH AND EVERY PERSON OR BRICK

AS EACH OF THEM GROW WITH PRIDE

THESE ARE THE PYRAMIDS, OUR DREAMS DECIDE
