The Clock

By Antigeist

This Ticking Plastic Battery Powered Bastard Running Our Lives   

You Anxiously Stare At It In Anticipation Untill It Lets You   

Go Home To Your Wrapped In Plastic House   

Full Of Shelves Of Religion And Closets Full Of Skeletons

You Make It Home Only To Sit Infront Of A Television

A Electronic Device Which Tells You When To Laugh And Cry

Your Face Is A Streaming Infomercial

Waiting For That Weekly Payment To Buy That Televised Pastor A New Car

That Goddamned Ticking Shrieking Plastic Battery Powered Bastard On The Wall!

It Keeps Fucking Ticking!

Slowly It Dies..

As You Replace The Battery's Life Goes On...
