we clock in, out
every one of us--that has ALWAYS
been the contract
the Tyrant has us all working
at minimum wage; some complain
others don't think about it
though at one time
or another, we are all grateful,
and terrified, we have a job
beggars, billionaires both
servants to the hours, His strange
circular command
but I will be dead ******
if I'll give Him a minute more than necessary
watching the hands spin on a timepiece,
eternally there to remind us, we are
temporal slaves, every minion
under His reign
