Time is like a fragile wing
The Cadence which canaries sing.
Time is like a steel door
Once it's closed it cracks no more.
Time is like a wooden screen
Through its lattice love is seen.
Time is like a rotting wind
Its stench will catch
Your breath and rend.
Time is like the Posey Fair
It scent will catch Black Death air.
Time's the root. It is the tree
Time is still a mystery
For we've Rewritten history.
From its boughs we see the Hills
In its bowels we're dead & still.
Time's like an infant's crowning head
Then like a game. A child's dread
In full flower we are wed
We have the happy child instead
In our season we are dead.
So hold time like a fragile lace
Water in a Dresden vase.
Cup it like a Lover's face
Watch it dance with ballet grace.
It's there... then gone without a trace.
The clock is backward, sweeping right
It starts it's journey in the night
It won't give up without a fight
The hands are sweeping
Small and slight
It will end within the light...
It moves now with blinding speed
Through this poverty and need
Where the few are rich by greed
They are then more ****** indeed
As they plant their golden seed
It crops up a vile ****.
In the west the rising.sun
And with this the day"s begun
On its axis Earth is spun
In the east the day is done
Then noontime comes,
It's course is run
The time now is 12:01...
I know the last stanza is a bit confusing. Everything is so backward now though. I thought of the clock going backward. Instead of the time of the end of the world as 11:59, I'm thinking of it is 12:01. It's almost high noon folks.
