- - Thief of Time - -

Tik, tik… detik demi detik
Nit, nit… menit per menit
Mm, mm… jam pun berkumandang
Kala detik berlari mengejar menit dan berganti jam, terus berputar, konstan!

Hari ini,
Pekan nanti,
Bulan depan,
Tahun baru,
Sewindu, dekade, abad, millennium, dkk, berotasi…
Semua selalu berbau dan berdimensi waktu!

Sunrise to sunset, dawn till dusk,
Morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night and midnight
Spring, summer, fall and winter

24/7
Time after time, ticking constantly!
There it goes…. there it goes again…

It’s just the matter of time, a period of life…
Not the quantity, but the quality, instead.
Use it and take it for granted, don’t waste it…
Yesterday = history, tomorrow = mystery, today = gift
No past, yet future, only present.
It’s a gift made by us, not given by the thief of time!
