Memento Mori- It means that nothing lasts forever, no one is immortal, sooner or later you will die and things will come to an end. It also helps you realize that while you are living you should do the most with your life, live life to the fullest.

1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, four

I can't really take this anymore

 

5 o'clock, six

Keep on throwing your stones and sticks

 

7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, nine

You know that it is almost time

 

10 o'clock, 11, twelve

Your words were always personal...

Basically it was supposed to show how a person's mind was degrading due to the pain and bullying, the ridicule, the person indured.  Each piece would ryhme with the last hour, for example, four and anymore, six and sticks, nine and time, twelve and personal.  Anyway thank you for commenting and if you have any questions about my work, feel free to ask.

I think this has good potential, but I'm having trouble finding the rhythm of it.
