Tick Tock Crawl
Tick Tock Crawl, time controls us all,
It grasps our chain.
It pulls.
The helpless lack—control,
Our time
But not ours –borrowed.
Break the chain! But wait,
None has that power within.
Instead a rope,
Return the time.
It controls not,
If none more is borrowed.
Slave to time no more,
Hear not the Tick Tock Crawl.
But slave to one more powerful, one with no escape.
The Tick Tock Crawl controls one and all.
None escape until that time,
When our loan is due.
Use the time, the loan nigh due.
Enjoy the time, before the chime.
Call.
Tick. Tock. Crawl.
