As the World Turns

As the World turns clock hands rotate in circular motions
For the hours I count in hopes of all of them to freeze 
For the silent moments I think to myself of the time that has passed
The person who stares to the ground while they walk on the streets
One step they take going farther into a direction yet known

As the world turns so do the heads 
In search for some kind of entertainment 
In hopes of satisfying the need to laugh or gossip
The world is funny

As the world turns there is always a voice that speaks 
But yet there are so many secrets and miscommunications
Words roll of the tongues of today's generation
The people expected to continue whats been started
Blood sheds before a tongue slips

As the world turns there is always the word change 
If there is a yearn for change why is there a display of consistency?
