Enigma: 謎々

The Riddle of Time and Procrastination

By ♥️♣️ぴ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡♠️♥️Published 4 years ago 1 min read

There is still time untill the things I have to do pile up.

I will kill some time answering your riddle

The same but different

Different but the same

It seems time has gone by

But not even a second has passed

Riddle Riddle

There is still time untill the things I have to do pile up.

The future is now

Now is the future

Now is when?

What happened to the past

It seems time has gone by

But not even a second has passed

Riddle Riddle

There is still time untill the things I have to do pile up.

The end has already arrived.

But, when was the beginning?

What comes after the end?

What comes before the beginning?

It seems time has gone by

But not even a second has passed

Riddle Riddle

There is still time untill the things I have to do pile up.

Where did you go

I cannot see you anymore

Surrounded by the new generation

My time is up.

JAPANESE:

やることまた増えるまで時間はたくさん

時間を潰す

君の謎を答える

同じが違う

違うが同じ

時間は過ぎたみたいが、

1秒も経ってない

やることまた増えるまで時間はたくさん

未来が現在

現在が未来

今はいつ

過去はどうしたの

時間を過ぎたみたいが、

1秒も経ってない

謎々

やることまた増えるまで時間はたくさん

終わりはもう来た

始まりはいつだった

終わりのあとは

始まりの前は

時間を乗り越えたみたいが、

1秒も経ってない

謎々

やることまた増えるまで時間はたくさん

君はどこに行った

君はもう見えない

次の世代の人々に巻き込まれ、

1秒もない

About the Creator

♥️♣️ぴ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡♠️♥️

I am inspired by freestyle Japanese poetry.

From a clear meaning to a beautiful resonance.

However; the person who inspired me is now on another path of life.

But, I will continue to practice.
