The hummingbird hovers as well he should
The bee pollinates each untapped flower
The dog urinates against pile of wood
The clock ticks louder…nearer my hour
A man on a bike blows cigarette smoke
A girl on skates takes a fall from a crack
A woman pushing shopping cart can’t see the joke
Her clock ticks louder…’tis money she lacks
Our Earth is dying…we’ve inflicted grave wounds
Our Earth ‘twas the only…place we could go
The hummingbird, bee, dog…sense future tombs
The man, girl and woman…are too busy to know
Oh clock on the wall…why never stop?
Oh clock on the wall…no quarter from you?
That old clock now ticks louder…tired eyes drop
My day will end…will yours ever be through?
