WHERE ARE THE PYRAMIDS
WHERE ARE THE PYRAMIDSTIME 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
