Time

If you could picture time as a concept 
To control our willing self 
Would its beat change as our mind slept
Propaganda sold as health. 

Time is an aid to healing 
Advice for emotional pain 
But how can it manage the feeling 
To protect and keep us sane. 

So how much time is for the living 
An algorithm to measure breath 
Age a counter for the reapers ring 
Taking us closer to the time called death.
