And Then

the clock ticks
and ticks
and ticks
and ticks

the rain descends
and descends
and descends
and descends

the planet spins
and spins
and spins
and spins

light waves bend
and bend
and bend
and bend

the heavens move
and move
and move
and move

lives end
and end
and end
and end

new stars begin
and begin
and begin
and begin

people disagree and offend
what then?
what then?
what then?
