Analysis of If time could speak
If time could speak
It would unfold for the curious mind
the ultimate stories
the fetus of the future.
If time could speak
you would hear the sound of life
the noise of events
and the echo of realities.
If time could speak
It would speak in seasons and epochs
It would spell years, months, weeks, days and hours
which transmute into history.
If time could speak
It would say but the truth
It would teach but lesson
to the intillegent ones.
If time could speak
And we would listen to its tick
the whirling of its stick
Our life would not be at stake.
