What you can't change...

What you can't change...

I hold no prejudice
I retain no opinion about your wealth or power
You can’t screen, retreat, recover, or recoil from me
As you keep passing me by
You can’t help or contribute to me
I outlast the elements as I hold no sentiments
I wait for history to mold me
Too many people have wasted me
Now they have come face to face with me
While many try to forget about me
I will catch up to you
Many have treated me unfaithfully
Now they are enduring me painfully
Who am I?
I am TIME

Poem

When I wrote it, I was aiming at my poetic side. It turned to my introspective side and well I was happy the way it came out... Thanks for reading! I finally got the adsense working, but don't really care about it anymore now that it works, because you can't really make money here lol!

Poem or riddle?

This is the second poem I have read here, and the second one I have liked. Funny because I usually just can't get into poems too much. I suppose it has to do with reading from textbooks written in the 1800's that gets me. This was good though, it was an interesting approach. I thought it was going to be a riddle and I started to guess before the end... then you spoiled my fun. :)
