Time is moving against our will

And our whole lives seem to be wired

Fearful of when the clock begins to still


I am far too young to feel this shrill

Yet far too old to be this tired

Time is moving against our will


So here we stand and wait until

The man who controls our lives get fired

Fearful of when the clock begins to still


We all rise to the top of the clock’s hill

And freedom from its grasp is desired

Time is moving against our will


As oldness narrows down for the kill

Someone stood and stayed and admired

Fearful of when the clock begins to still

This piece is meant to embody my fear of the passing of time and the simultanious realization that it will never slow.
