The many highways and varied roads we travel each day are lined with much danger and pent up rage. A sense of anger that is a constant potential time bomb just waiting to go off. Many paths are taken at every moment of our lives. Some roads are quiet, surrounded by solitary vegetation, some roads are long drawn and monotonous, coaxing you to fall asleep at the wheel. Still, others are surrounded by dread and danger on either side...here, safety is a seldom seen luxury. TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK... LISTEN TO THE EERIE BEATING OF THE CLOCK! You have only to watch your daily news to witness countless examples of a festering that every day, in different ways, just boils over to a culminating point where both victim and victimizer take a proverbial bullet. Children killing children, mama's selling themselves to feed one or more 'juniors', daddy...where is daddy in most cases? TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK... LISTEN TO THE EERIE BEATING OF THE CLOCK! These pathways and roads on life's highways are littered with our minute to minute decisions and bring equal consequence at every turn. Many times the challenge becomes exiting any number of one way streets where hate and collective fury reside, and finding passage to the expressway leading to boulevards of understanding, compassion and an enlightened view of our fellow commuters. TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK... LISTEN TO THAT EERIE BEATING OF THE CLOCK! Soon...very soon...this world; our world, the only one we've got...will implode then explode then ball itself up into a fetal position, and finally drink its own bitter, fallout tainted tears as each last survivor...remembers...what once was... TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK... LISTEN TO THAT EERIE BEATING OF THE CLOCK! I'm afraid...YOUR TIME IS UP!!! -by Mercurychyld Copyrights
