Elements Of Kirk: Timeless Spirit

TIMELESS SPIRIT

"It's a quarter till what?", you ask...trying to set your time;

Everyday we all hear that same convoluted

line.

Motion speaks pictures, walking along Avenues;

Be prompt, get the early...wear your walking shoes.

Seems like all efforts have been taking, be there or be square;

So worried about making a good impression, trying to show you care.

But, is it really worth killing yourself, for a measly second or two;

It leaves you in a moral stress zone, your Feet all turning blue!

Society has us trained, nothing labored, nothing gained;

Great influence evokes success, a quest, "Hey who's best!"

And some are better than other's, a new Office coming their way;

They were on time, right on the dime, bringing forth a brand new day!

It doesn't help that other's brag, nag, "Didn't make it on time", you say;

Cause they were late, full of hat, and could never relate to a simple debate?

So, just how is your day going...are you even going to make it home;

Your Pot Roast set on the auto timer, just sitting there all alone...

And speaking of time, have you aged well;

Getting so close to Heaven as you skip above the Hell?

Who know when your day comes, taking that last deep breath;

Hope they remember to correctly record, the very time of your death!

And it's hard to contemplate, just what is a Light-Year;

Overshooting their target, has got to be a Scientist greatest fear?

For the Stars you look at tonight, are probably not there at all;

So very long for the light to get through, that Time-Warped Cosmic Wall!

And the Runner's last lap, as lunges for First-Place;

Tenth's of a Second, to Win or Lose, sweat coming down his Face...

The Employee late for work, now he's passing in the Emergency Lane;

Putting his life in jeopardy, just to please the Ball and Chain...

So, for some it's a passionate frenzy, some don't even fear it;

The Clock will be moving, long after your gone, it's the reality of The Timeless Spirit!
