Analysis of Time
Time is telling us we have no time.
Not for anything important only lies.
When can we turn to what's inside?
Without time we're all lost without a sign.
Can we proceed to the next minute?
Is there time for the last breath nigh?
We're lost in the mess of telling it like it is.
What time do you think it is right now?
Does it really matter at all what the clock says?
What if there was none at all?
