Time Will Tell
Time will tell, just gently listen,
to the sound of gears and sprockets
conveying a concept quite complex.
ask it a question and watch the position,
of the needle telling you what you want to know,
as an unstoppable force compels it to do so.
You cannot make it go faster, nor can you stall;
The clock house’s burden that befalls us all.
When the orchestra of chimes combine,
commanding suns to dusk and fates to intertwine,
the pendulums sway starts to slowly decline.
succumbing to the weight of everlasting time,
The logic of the herald of order will fade away,
telling us lies, but the truth at least twice a day.
