Timepiece Reveals

Timepiece reveals desolation,
        forsaken lands of creation-
Barren branches sway in dismay, 
  uneasy in life’s disarray. 
No hope for alleviation. 

        Wasteland betrayed by salvation, 
one more soul dies from starvation. 
           The timekeeper starts to decay-
Timepiece reveals. 

    Ebon sky wears fascination,
lost in lonely desperation-
     For existence must go astray,
awaiting the break of dawn’s day. 
   Minutes bound by condemnation- 
                        Timepiece reveals.
