I always wanted Time
But not this time
I feel insecure
My future is obscure
I am the reason for sure,
Oh I was greedy
Didn’t cater the needy
I did not nurture the needy
But I always tried to capture
God gave me a warning
I kept ignoring
He said the woods burning
The iceberg melting
I didn’t realize
That I’m gonna pay the price
Oh now I repent
For the time I have misspent
I beg the nature my pardon
For I filled it with carbon
Oh, I always wanted time
But not this time
As of now it is grime
Isn’t it my crime?
