Captured By Time

Most believe it is movement yet, is it? We move moment by moment thinking, Years have passed but in fact, has our time already stopped? We measure it as if we understood it, An animal has no use in measuring They just pass through time not knowing Free from the burden of time, While capturing the minds of man A calculation of measurements Ending mans time, after time Burdening thought’s of lost time Captured by a clock while animals run free Death we bring to them for their lack of time While we are consumed by calculations A car moves at 60 mph as we calculate it An animal moves in their own time Not expecting to intertwine those two times One runs free the other is captured, By Time.
