A new time, enveloped inside mine Keeps ticking aloft besides And slides the locket of her mother Beyond the socket of the wayside Opens diversity into plain view Where others place their often misguided Open-faced mindless guffaw over The mantle of deceit, where she sits Like she is the queen of eternity But she can’t keep that locket If it means that time eludes the father Of all the worlds money, which opens When she befalls the worship of the uncanny Where leviathans keep their beck And over the side of Egypt, the call Bellows below the falling of the wayside Where a locket grows eternal questions Where her mother, that of nature cries And beneath all factions that crawl Those that think they are right Mistake the ruling of the supremacy Of the father Tick tock, tick tock, tick Tock Russell Sivey
