Life's Tick

Time has taken
Precedence over joy, it
Has encompassed the
Souls of those who have
Once even thought of rejecting it. It
Tweaks our perception of what
Reality is. We seek
Truth, through this on
Going, yet very strictly
Set boundaries of its
Twenty-four hours per
Day. The clocks, the watches, the sun
Dial, all telling it
Differently. What is the
Correct one? Why are we all so,
Centered on its
Control? If we brush it
Off, it will…
Creep upon us just the same.
