The Sandman and Father Time

 By: Tera  April 14, 1998
 

   The Sandman called on Father Time  "A moment can you spare?"
   "My job's to see inside man's dreams
   Please look what I've found there."

   "There used to be a healthy seed,  compassion, love and trust.
   But now the dreams hold hate and greed, dishonesty and lust"

   "The children once laid down in peace and dreamed the best of dreams.
   Today they weep and they fight sleep, afraid of what it brings"

   The Sandman turned to Father Time and found he was not there.
   He had not heard one single word , no moment could he spare.
 
   Looking down to earth he saw
   a farmer with his hoe
   he watched him cut the bad away
   so that the good could grow

   There is a message in these words
   I pray has touched your mind
   read it twice then pass it on,
       Seek and you shall find
       there IS an end to time.
