Time's Calling

Tic Tok, days are numbered before death Clock counting each second of breath From sun up to moonlight chill of the air Constant schedule to survive life's drama Beep, beep, beep, time's calling wake up Before dawn my eyes care not to thrive Ambitious being once, now drained its thirst Time, slowly fade like decaying carcass Where is it time seems so fast We grow so quickly a child from past Days longer, now feel to be short Has the world turn fast as one's heart Tilt into evolution of unknown depths of the abyss Since dawn of time was ever known Creatures of historical significant to their being And where did mankind appear from the blue As if crawled from a rock, time's calling As the day of future is at hand A universal world older than all us together Life's time span, an exquisite astonishment Space, frontier to knowledge and understanding Our own heart, desires to be a part of To revolutionize a being, life of robots But our own we do not prioritize living Just existence of our prints to rot How is it such creation exist to be But our own destruction from land to sea Time's calling, do we answer the ring Or continue to do as we do, take from life our achievements Over population society of opinionated belief And a greed for life where money rules, you're just a pawn Time's calling, new nation to what existence we kill all
