30 Days Of Poetry, Day22 "Keeping Time" Pics Inside by lyricalpontiff(m): 10:54pm On Jun 22, 2015
The cock crows high into the morning sky
Harsh songs from my useless alarm can make me die
Honks of early morning blue & white buses eat my sleep
No time,sleep hasn't been this deep
And to myself I solemnly recite
You still got plenty of time to do what's right
To get dressed, it takes you just a minute
And seconds to lace your shoe,I mean it
I clutch more tighter to my cold pillow
Turning left right as I wallow
Gently savouring the bliss of my dream
Floating like a piece of paper on stream
No pleasure can come this close
I wish time froze as I doze
Leaving this bed is an Herculean task
How does my rest hurt the world, i ask
My mama used to quote theselines
Make hay while the sun shines
And time waits for no man she said
He who invented those proverbs must have been dead
Dear mum, I beg to disagree
It's my world and I'm young and free
The clock is just a creation with 24hours
24 isn't enough,we need a clock of ours
And I blame that device for my life ills
Verily verily, the clock kills
I lost a big contract
Eye balls dilate,wrinklescontract
Carried over some courses
Mr. Clock was the head of thecauses
I was like Y me?like the end of rhyme
Just because I couldn't keep time
Those 3 evil hands combine to make me late
But since I was born,I'm yet to be late
I didn't know the clock from Adam‎
Pardon me if I'm late Oga and Madam
As I go on grudgingly living my life
Not like a time keeper that makes time his wife
I know that keeping time is my nemesis‎
Right from the very genesis
