Boko Haram: Buhari's Tick Tock - a poem (2) (3) (4)

Tick-tock by afroxyz: 11:35am On Jan 07, 2016
'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

Nice one. I like to call it scenario switch. Control has moved from the creator to the creation. Super nice.
