Battle of Life and Time by Sholanke Peter Olayiwola
Life blooms in silence, a whisper of dawn,
Dreams like rivers, forever drawn.
Time awakens, a shadowed king,
Gnawing the roots where hopes take wing.
Life builds castles in fragile sand,
Time’s cold tide sweeps across the land.
Each heartbeat strikes a war-drum deep,
As memories wake and sorrows weep.
Life screams boldly, “I will remain!”
Time just smiles, immune to pain.
When dust and echoes intertwine,
Life fades—but meaning defies Time.
