Watching the Sunset
Is this the sum of all that I have done
For when this sun sets, birthed is a new one
Into a world from which no soul returns
Haunted are they, for that is what they yearn
Yet while this sun spends his time next to me
The others can only worry with glee
For in the next world in which I shall live
There is much more to take, to share, to give
But before I am set to disappear
No longer can I block their wretched fear
For a new dawn is not yet what I crave
Though I will try to find pieces to save
Fated am I to have battles to fight
And try to withstand time’s eternal bite
With each battle, more and more I shall change
And thus more pieces will be rearranged
Until the day when I will truly see
What it is I have indeed come to be
And I shall gaze into the mirror wall
To see nothing except a good man’s fall
So in this moment will my fate be sealed
As I look out beyond this rodent’s wheel
And realize will I that in this vain quest
It was I who put my future to rest
Alas, the sun has now set on my home
Without its colors will I always roam
For instead of gazing upon the light
All I could see was the cold, barren night
O, how much I feared the unyielding gloom
But it was fear itself that shaped my doom

This is a satire. It is saying how people focus more on what could happen in the future rather than what is happening in the present.
