BODY CLOCK

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
Clock unwinds, new hands move slowly
time for growing, searching, dreaming
touching, feeling, laughing, dancing
eager for another day

Tick. Tock. Tick.
Adolescent cry for help and nurture
suppressed by adults breaking up
tragedy seeks out lost souls
some may not see another day

Tick. Tock.
Home invaders; trash and violence
robots watching robots, on and off the screen
lives of fiction based on fact
blunder through another day

Tick. Tick.
Aged parents long for son or daughter
too busy racing through the years
consumers plunging deep in debt
exhausted by another day

Tick.
Every clock comes round full circle
slowed seconds granting space to think
on time wise spent or squandered
while begging for another day.
