DEATH WATCH

Its beat starts from the womb,

Its beat a sign of life,

Its beat makes the flesh and blood

Its beat confirms we are conceived.

It beats like time,

Ticks like time,

It beats per second,

Its beats circulates our blood,

It’s the sign of life.

Our heartbeat, our deathwatch.

As it ticks our life away

What we do is recorded in time

The quality of which is made in history.

How long will mine be,

I know not.

How long will yours work

You can’t say

But one thing is sure,

We are not timed to work for life

Tick , tock, tick tock,

It waits for no one,

Saying what you have to do

Do quick.
