Time’s A’Tickin’
5/30/06 (math class)
This constant, choking feeling torments me in my sleep.
While a never ending tightness makes it hard to breathe.
The unrelenting tick of that unrelenting clock
Moves its hands around the face, never to be stopped.
It has a care for nothing. It dominates each life.
It starts and stops for no one. It’s an unforgiving fight.
Some people say it’s helpful, but I can see it true.
You know it puts a time frame on when we will be due.
The date is set, that’s for sure, last moments will be known.
A lamenting cry for unstoppable time that chills me to the bone.
A stricter hand, I’ve never seen, nor more a flawless face.
One way down with a frown, my heart’s picked up the pace.
The day is short; the day is long. Alas! My moment’s
here.
I say goodbye, adieu to life, but I'll always be a buccaneer.
