Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Look around what do you see?
Nothing, that is the answer
Nothing at all can you see
You're running by it all,
hoping it will all disappear
sorry to end that hope
but teh problems stop here
Tick tock, Tick tock
Who cared the color of your new dress?
Meanwhile people lie in distress.
why don't we don't we do something,
why can't we see
everyone passes it along
one day it will all be gone
Tick tock, tick tock,
our life is an hourglass,
glued to one side
the grains of sand go one by one
how much do we have left of time?
We can't just hope and pray
that may work, but not today
It's time to take action
don't fiddle and wait!
This is what we're meant to do
we must pull our own weight
For shame! For shame!
We lie back and rest
didn't i tell you, so many are in distress!
Time to fight,
before time is gone
Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Where has time gone?
We're running this race
they say we can't possibly win
Stand back and watch, i say
learn this lesson from within
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
tick
tock.
Gone.
sand on the wind
a dot in the galaxies
feel the universal dance
listen to the music of harmony
theres a lot of bad,
but there's so much good
that bad grows faster, corrupting,
taking over
but ultimitley, the good will triumph.
its up to us to decide how-
in oblivion, or in peace?
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
tick tock
Run.
Tick
Fly.
Tock.
Goodbye.

poor vw
i really, really like this poem
maybe i;ll use it 4 free verse
but then i'd have to explain to mrs. jones nad the rest of the administration that, no, i am not suicidal, no, i am not depressed.(though that one is up for discussion at this point) and no, i am in fact sane and will not die like other famous, depresses, suicidal poets. (ditto)

There is a difference between writing twisted tales because you are depressed and on drugs and being honest. A, your work is honest. You show life's hurt and joy side by side, without veils that hide anything sad or ugly. It's what makes your work so meaningful. You are a great writer because you're not afraid of the truth.
