Heart Of The Matter

Time, Takes No Prisoners

Time, takes no prisoners,
Its army marches on,
It is steady and relentless,
Tick tock tick,
The seconds gone,

Retaliation futile,
From time, you can't escape,
It will bludgeon with brutality,
It will ravenously rape,

It is silent in advancement,
It wounds with dagger drawn,
It is steady and relentless,
Tick tock tick,
And then, it's gone.
