Tick-tock

Our life with a clock
Tick-tock
Every minute
Tick-tock
Every hour
Tick-tock
Every day
Tick-tock
Always with our clock

Time for this
Tick-tock
Time for that
Tick-tock
Time for work
Tick-tock
Time for bed
Tick-tock
We can never seem to escape the clock

Time everywhere
Tick-tock
Yet we never have enough
Tick-tock
Time the myth
Tick-tock
Perhaps it’s time to stop the clock

The merry-go-round

As a human race, we are stuck in a never-ending merry-go-round.

One of blame and counter-blame.

One bubble not hearing the other bubble above its own noise of hate.

Everyone chasing something just ahead of us, angry at never seeming to catch it.

Riding the ups and downs with pleasure and pain, nothing constant or deep.

The merry-go-round has no meaning, it just keeps repeating the same, turn after turn.

No one realising they have been round and round the same thing before, never learning or changing.

Sometimes we have to be brave to get off the merry-go-round and be lost in the wilderness. Accepting what is about the merry-go-round and its pursuit of the uncatchable enables us to see an alternative.
