A Riddle for Our Time

I am less than a second away, but you will never reach me

I will turn the night to day, and you may never teach me

In me you will learn all things you ever wanted know,

I hold you with eternal strings, and shall never let you go

I will kill you, though i've never killed, I am feared and loved by all

I offer endless hope through you filled, and will always hear you call

None have ever seen me, yet know that I am real

Without it evil be, I will kill destroy and steal

What I do is not a crime, nor am I diminished

For it is not yet my time, my reign is never finished
