So much occurs around the world in just one tiny minute.

One Minute

Does it really matter, just a mere moment, just a tiny tick of the clock.
It does seem rather absurd, something that would mock.
But it could be the difference between life and death.
It could be the difference of whether or not we draw one last breath.
Sixty tiny seconds tick by.
So much can happen in that mere moment, it is difficult for some to see why.
People are born, others die, relationships break.
All in that time, that tiny time, all in this last minute, really that’s all that it takes.
The moment we smile, the next we sneer.
What will occur when the next moment is here?

    Just letting you know I read your piece here, megamatt09. I have nothing else to add. Didn’t want to leave a lame comment like “good poem,” which many have a bad habit of doing. :P
