MY WORK OF ART

Time Clock

We are set by a time clock

The whole human race

We are placed in a box

With limited space

But the world is ever changing

And there’s just not enough

Room for technology

And material stuff

The time clock’s ticking louder

And there’s no more room

Some have to get out

While still in the womb

The time clock keeps ticking

At a terrible pace

It controls every moment

Without showing its face

It controls everybody

Every traffic light stop

And it flows like a river

And controls every drop

We are set by a time clock

And the alarm bell has sound

In our limited space

In a box all around

Time’s running out for some

And lives are unstable

Some have made use of it

And many are unable

The boxes are overflowing

As they burst at the seams

Along with hope

And many a dream

It’s a matter of time

When dwellers will wilt

For time gives some power

And more boxes are built

But technology’s gaining

And has soared like a stock

But nothing can stop it

The inevitable time clock
