The Mice
Whenever you look at a clock,
seconds tick away.
Wheneer you take a step,
millions are taken.
Wenever you say a word,
coversations begin and end.
Whenever you do anything,
seconds tick away,
millions of steps are taken,
conversations begin and end.
Life continues even
when you are screaming for it to stop,
begging it to help you,
pleading with it to explain
what it all means.
No answer ever comes from its mouth.
Cliched comments are all that come from
the other mice stuck
on the same wheel are,
running in endless circles.
No true answer to dry the tears
that fill the lake shrouded in mystery.
