Time Flies
Meshack Bwoyele Keya 1960 (Vihiga)
tick tock, tick tock
time flies fast
before you say 'limbo'
it is another Dawn
the day does not last
it moves like a shadow
waiting for no soul.
time flies!
you yawn and mourn
often you do fret
with nothing to show
for each passing minute
there's too much to do
one lazes around undecided
when you decide to do
time flies
you are the pilot
a master of your time
plan well
organize yourself
use well the available time
do not be caught with pants down
Time flies
you are the pilot.
