Plagued by time* is the most apt description of man
Not enough time
A drowning consciousness in the sea of activities
Not enough time
The mind with a growing number of disabilities
Not enough time
To do anything in a twenty-four hour day
The grandfather clock cannot stop
Even though its mahogany treads are screaming
"NO MORE"
Only to be drowned out by the golden bells
Whispering
"Tik tok...
Tik tok...
Ding. Ding. Ding."
Part I in the "Clocks" series
