Inexorable

Time might not, as a thing, exist
Still
It moves, it lives, it is continuous
We perceive it passing
We see it move slowly as we wait
We see it fly by
As we seek just to resist
Our flesh fails us
There seems no justice
Is youth wasted upon the young
Or do the elders reap the rewards
Wisdom giving life
When the machine of time moves
Killing all who pause
And rewarding those
Who perceive the passings
