'Civilized' man invented the clock With the illusion he could outpace time Oblivious of this peril He dwaddled to grasp the future In hurrying, he forgets the joys of the moment He forgets he is a traveller through life's course He becomes a rabid dog chasing the future The faster he runs, the further it retreats 'Civilized' man is now a machine in the hands of the clock Whose actions are guided tick-tock Told when to eat and sleep Time is becomes a commodity, to be bought at all costs 4 Likes |
