The Inescapable Pull of Time

We are bound by time,

Tethered to the past and future

By an invisible cord.

We can struggle and fight,

But eventually we all succumb

To the relentless pull of time.

It is the great equalizer,

The one thing that can bind

The mightiest of kings

To the lowliest of peasants.

In the end, we are all

At the mercy of time,

And there is nothing

That can ever truly escape it.
