Description
Tick tock tick tock couldn’t you feel it
The silence of death slowly rotting and raking
All souls enveloped in its embrace...
Feeding off weakness and pleasure self-serving
Always wanting more yet entwining the heart with the burn of undeserving
Yesssss Yesssss this next thing shall do it
Decadence, waste and morbid indulgence
When Creator allows the Creation to become its Influence
As they look in the mirror
Hands rising to faces
Surface so thin, fingers press through the ashes
Underneath, nothing cultivated, a vapid wide void
No match to their perfected image and red satin sashes
Shells they are, that look as though human
Eyes lit with the fire that is driven by need
Some the mask of man, others that of a woman
Although images may sparkle, be not deceived
For soon the wants and demands that they have become
Will be all that animates them, not humanity or true life left in one
Everything here is yours for the choosing
Who are you, What are you…..answer this quickly
A series of impulses, reactions and steadfastly losing
As the things that were made consume the flow of life within
Hollow and broken, nearly ready now to be scattered by wind
Should your inside still shelter a flame from the Source
Shed aside everything and stay on that course
But remember, the clock on the mantle is still ticking
What is not real shall soon turn to dust
And if you hear them coming, their heel on pavement clicking
Shhhhh nothing louder than a whisper breathe....
