Tick

[lanaia74]

Tick, tick, tick, can you hear the hear the time as it quickly slips by
The hands of the clock read one minute before midnight, we are getting very close to doomsday
Global warming, famine, death, and war, hear the hooves of the four horsemen, as they ride their horses, the closer they get, the more people that will die
The time is near when pestilence, death, and plague will come out to play.


Tick, tick, tick, we just stand by as the doomsday clock ticks away
Soon the world as we know it may go away
Leaving with us the aftermath of doomsday, something we are all caused to dread, something in which to the results, we may not have a say
Time, our planet, we just watch, as the clock ticks away.

Tick, tick, tick, no matter what we do our time continues to slip away
It seems mankind would learn from the devastating mistakes they have made
But we don't listen, destruction is waiting at the door, so he can come out and play
If we were in school, we would definitely fail our grade.

Tick, tick, tick, just listen, can't you hear life as it slips away?
It's really sad to think, we would have such a hand in our own demise
Thing need to change, and change without delay
With all the advanced technology of today, mankind is far from wise.

Tick, tick, tick, as the clock makes this sound, hearing this and what it could mean literally makes me feel sick
I see the hands of the clock, one minute before midnight
Mankind just watches, knowing what midnight would bring, darkness so black and thick
Everyone acts so relaxed as doomsday is within reach, within sight
But there seems to be no emotion, no concern, as doomsday is so close, and you can hear the clock as it continually ticks.

Tick, tick, tick, listen to how close the sound seems to be
But we sit back and do nothing, when we take action, it may then be too late
Mankind must take heed! When doomsday comes there will be no safe place to flee
So the clock continues as it counts down how much time we have left, but I think intervention now, do you think it's too late.

I think the real problem my friend is that were all individuals caught up in our own lives, our own worries and our own needs. We spend so much time just trying to survive daily life and help our family and friends get through if we can that we can't clearly see "the big picture". And most people don't want to anyway. It frightens them too much. Look at all the movies and TV shows about the aftermath of "the final war". If people compose those movies and shows and people watch them, you'd think they'd get it. But I don't think most people do. I fear you are likely right. Who's knows how far off "doomsday" is but in the meantime there's more war and other senseless killing. It is sad and sick and my soul bleeds! To me the "tick, tick, tick" sounded like dripping blood!

Lots Of Luck,
Mike
