You grew up fast now you'll die soon

people age in crazy ways
how they spend their nights and days
scornful, branding others broken
misreading love or how it's spoken

people age in painful leaps
with no regard to how time creeps
giving out or giving in
their years in such a shocking sin

people age with too much vigor
expectations pull the trigger
all the guns they point at those
who live away from what age chose

people age with no forgiveness
nor memory for the younger business
getting on with life it seems
means give up all your childhood dreams

people age in furious bounds
yet to a man it still confounds
when life is dealt its final yawn
our time is up, and where's it gone?
