Time beats the fastest
Without moving a foot
Man wails in bowl of ocean
Constituting nothing to the sea
Time barks and holws

Time looks from a glance
Ahead it lies
Behind it stays
Man is sick with wonder
What a creature thou is!

Time is a fluid that must be contained
Cunny in nature,
Deceptive in character
Time calls a faint call
Tell man to be attentive

Time resolves and sits
Sovereign above man
Sees his affairs
Determines his decision
Man is subjected

Time waits at the final hour
Hours, minute and second ticks
Man remains at a verge of nature
His solemn question lies,
What have you done with time?
