Eghe(Time)

ÉGHÉ'
                       "TIME"

With time
The barren  becomes pregnant
With time
The pregnant woman becomes a mother
With time
the mother becomes a daughter
With time
The married woman becomes a widow
With time
the childless widow becomes an object of obscurity and weak pity.

With time
An heroes deeds are told as stories
While great events become myths
And Once-Upon-A-Time.

For with time
Mountains metamorphose to sand
Rivers turn farmland
And Hills reduce to slime.

And time
frowns nor smiles on nothing
neither does he give nor take something
for only a fool boast with a dime.

Oh time
you are so slow but yet too fast
For our tomorrow becomes yesterday
Like the uncertain colouration of a lime.

Man is a slave to time
As all men will answer to the call of time.
For the authority he exacts is divine
Nothing happens without the consent of time.

The past is Time
The present is Time
The future is Time
And Éghé himself is Time..
