Wasting time

Modern humans are hour glasses, Life drips away with each grain, The echo of minutes lost, Are a terrible refrain. Sitting in the office chair, Wondering when life starts, Sipping coffee and typing data, On seemingly endless charts. Look at the clock it's nearly five, Just a little more time to wait, When suddenly the clock comes alive, Pushing the hour hand late. Do not let me hold you back it shouts, Above the din of quiet This is your life so go and live, Be free my friend, and riot!

Life is too short to second-guess your choice. Live happy, live long, live all life's hidden joys.
OLDER VERSION(S)

A comic: the hourglass sits at his desk job, thinking. He's wasting time. He missed traveling, and now he just sits in this office. His sand passes the channel, and he looks at the clock: how much longer can he wait? But the clock becomes alive and says "don't let me hold you back!" The clock rips the hour and minute hands from his body and yells "Go, my friend!"A comic: the hourglass sits at his desk job, thinking. He's wasting time.
