"Is of the Essence"
Dictated by you
You are our ruler
Intangible, yet…. not really
I could see you with my own two eyes
Sometimes your obnoxious sound appears
Only when the room is as a mouse
You tell me when to begin
You tell me when to leave
You tell me when to sleep
You tell me when to eat
I can’t rebel against you
I’m only cheating myself
Teachers adore you
Students despise you
Sometimes you give my freedom a cut-off
Other times I can’t wait for your dictation
You control us
In an uncontrollable way
Yes, though something I can’t fully grasp
I know your ins and outs
We can’t escape you
For you are everywhere we go
We’re lost without you
For your presence guides us
Can’t live with you
Can’t live without you
How you appear to me, I may choose
Though how you are ran, is beyond my control
