Perchance to binge on Earthly time
A thought we humans find sublime
Still, we worry, this we must endure
A life that ends, of this we’re sure
Why rush, to get through every day
Those wasted hours, we threw away
Perhaps we need to slow it down
Take time to breathe, instead of drown
In things, that aren’t worth a dime
Turn back those dreaded sands of time
Take heed of this, I must implore
Before Heaven opens its only door

Really good Dorinda, and applicable to most people, I think.
