Tick-Tock : Life

written by Poet : EC


Often life is tiresome and simply too much
just look at the perpetual need to breathe
those slave-lungs have turned masters
so did that tick-tock-machine called a heart 
and what about the kidneys and the liver?
All of them own us, as we don't own them

Our desires make us jump hoops
not much free will there, only morals and caution
programmed meat-robots like us are slaves
freedom is not for us, except as celestial tramps
only moving in total nothingness we glimpse freedom
but still, meat-robots are preprogrammed slaves
turning by the tick-tock we await the doom
