Laughable Time

Eternity laughs at "time."
Our big clumsy clocks
hanging off the walls
dictating the pace of
our insignificant planet...
with selfish inhabitants
accumulating more things
buying more clocks.
Strutting the barnyard
sniffing for mates
to lay nuclear eggs.

Eternity laughs at 
the bones of brevity 
of which we'll become.

I admire your poetic and humane courage to tell it like it is. It's far easier as a poet to hide from truth behind rainbows, stars and the back ends of squirrels, butterflies and glorious waterfalls..all to please the masses. Tragic. Panagiota
