Time Clock

By Bijit Chakraborty

The mystic clock , the tik tok talk,

Showing Itself non stop ,

Facsimile of invisible stock,

Mocking the living hop.

Dating the spring , going around with the rain,

Mating all the fancy brain,

Tells us to catch the train,

Bound by its nature of rapine.

Boundaries that we set to gain,

Oxidises it to mourn the pain,

Slower than turtle, faster than cheetah,

Emotions are the only data .

Quicker than light, swifter than mind,

Litmus we are in its frame,

Karma is the way to go ,

Holding it will break our flow.
