Passing on

A swallow too fast is in the past

A shadow cast that doesn't last

Time so vast soon surpassed

Pleasure amassed by haste harassed

Money a ton soon is none

A race begun is soon run

Time spun is soon undone

 Ends the fun a bullet in the gun

This is so heavy and yet, the way you present it allows us to chuckle at the misfortune. I think we must chuckle at our misfortunes, otherwise, we end up at the barrel's end.
