Clock

It sits on the wall going tick tock

Its majestic fingers go round like a block

It sits there unnoticed till around 12 o’clock

Then unnoticed it stays feeling forlorn and forgot

With it, one learns what flies by like a flock

If time is money then it is money we’ve got

Without money one must run around with a glock

Yet unnoticed it stays feeling forlorn and forgot

If time did not exist no one would be missed

No one would be dissed

No one could make a wish 

And yet all this, if time did not exist

Yet unnoticed it stays feeling forlorn and forgot

This piece was inspired by my realization that many things go unappreciated until they are needed.
