Time is a parasite
that has been implanted
into your brain.
Suddenly everything
revolves around time.
Just as you would expect
from a parasite.
But know that you exist
beyond time, beyond space,
despite what time tells you.
Time wants you as its servant,
and you subserviently comply.
Even though you’re
infinitely more expansive
than time.

The Intrusion of Time
Time, like a cunning parasite, imposes its presence upon us, causing our lives to revolve around its relentless ticking. Its grip on our thoughts and actions is profound, much as one would expect from an intrusive entity.
The All-Encompassing Influence
Yet, amid the constant tick-tock of the clock, there’s a profound truth that transcends time and space. Despite what time may dictate, we exist beyond its confines, and our essence extends into the boundless expanse of existence.
The Boundless Self
Time yearns for us to be its obedient servants, and too often, we submit to its will. But in reality, we are infinitely more expansive and profound than the linear constraints of time.
