Time - The Determinator
Jadie Fan, age 17

Tick tock . . . tick tock . . . tick tock
No Matter
How hard
One tries
Back it comes to
HAUNT…
The past, present
F-U-T-U-R-E
No-one escapes…
As the day grows old and
Hairs
Turn grey
One ponders:
‘Is This It??’
Within each and everyone is a
TIMER –
Tick tock . . . Tick tock . . .
Lurking behind every corner
It stalks
It follows
It probes
Every
Thought
R

V

R
I
E
Walking the final steps
Tockkk . . . ckk . . .
Have I done enough?
Contributed to this world?
Imprinted happiness
On this EARTH?
Unfortunately time STOPS.
But the world
Still turns.
