ticktock

time...doesn't idle
it's either on time, 
too late or too early
it doesn't wait for kings
nor paupers..its on the dot
you may think that you
can save time..but none
it's winged chariot just
draws nearer slower
then bites you on the bum
it's not always kind
timeless is..a silent phase
but the cogs are rolling
it can ravage ..
they say time can heal
that I also dispute
time just..bides 
till the storm blows over
then you get the rebuke
some slip back 
a trick played 
by life's carillon
if you hear the bells
don't run
