Tick Tock.

This is random.

Their is no time.

ever moving

ever going

vanishing

vanishing

going

gone

tick tock.

goes the clock

as we watch

our lives

go on and on

never moving

never working

tick tock

goes the clock

as we watch opportunity

pass on by

like time.

tick tock

goes your clock

how long until the chime?

tell me.

How long?

I really like the concept of this poem. I think you've done a wonderful job of expressing the futility of life and how nothing can stop the progression of time. It is quite scary to think how little we are in control!
