I am an eternal being that cannot be touched.
That goes with a saying unless you have a watch.
My seconds as I call them are my pawns.
I am the father of eternity  ever since it was spawned.

I have minutes to spare whenever I can.
My generals are called hours that everyone spends.
One of my people live in a glass.
The other walks with you in a shadowy class.

If there is forever then that would be me.
I dont change that much even if years pass indifinitely.
I reside in the present, the future and the past.
You cannot escape me no matter how you go slow or fast.

I am a father of twelve but sometimes twenty four.
I fly quick, its up to you to hate or adore.
I can be given and even be chased.
Just dont blame me if youre running late.

One of my children stays in your pocket.
Another wrapped on your wrist so please pack it.
Sometimes you see me hanging on a wall.
Some people would trick you so with me they could stall.

I can be borrowed but never be bought.
You cant change me but I can make you learn the deepest thoughts.
