Clock that ticks

By Jules Fred C. Batisla-ong

Another time, Another year
The ones that are new becomes old
Forgetting the past I used to fear
By walking this land filled with gold

I can see the horizon
I became a man in this age of reason
conquering thoughts that bothers me
drove it away across the sea

Sometimes I ask myself
Is my time running out?
When will be the time to shout for help?
when no one hears your screams and shouts

Its the clock that ticks every minute of the day
out the streets where kids used to play
I guess Im old enough to hear them say
Must act now before I forget to pray
