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."
