Tick Tock
June 30, 2018
Tick tock
Rewind, fast forward
On and on,
Time just seems to move forward
Tick tock
Tick tock
Some leave
And others come
And others just come undone
Tick tock
Tick tock
Is time real
Or is it cycles
With the weight of gravity
Pushing us down
That is making us eventually go down, down down
Into the ground
Tick tock
Tick tock
Is ageing time,
Or just a result
Of a a type of weight?
Just an illusion-
A measurement to helps us understand,
But really- complicate-us and our fellow man
Do you understand?

Several studies have indicated that cultures just went by the sun and moon cycles and such, but we have to make everything more complicated with varying time zones. Ageing only occurs because of gravity and cell division, which is why species' ageing differs. Are we making things easier or trapoing ourselves in a ticking time bomb?
