Oh Kronos

Oh Kronos, you left me behind,

Speeding down the track to Oblivion

The seconds, the minutes, the hours fly by

And yet your hands pull further from mine

 

Dear Time, leaving me to wander,

What depths are there left to ponder?

Leviathan will consume us all

While you wait at the end with the glaring gall.

 

Speak to me through the threads dear tourist,

Lend me a sign, a clue, a hint you friend and altruist.

I cannot be left to drift in the futile battles already lost

My heart and soul are the final tokens to pay the dear cost.

 

You would leave your Rhea to suffer her children’s slaughter?

Eating the small things she holds dear, only to satisfy your lustful fear?

Time, hand me no more. Lead me elsewhere than your gut.

I am not to be fodder to the fireless man waiting at the end of time.
