Slowly ticking and toking away
The 21st century is the cog of time
Clearly written in our eyes
Is the registered sound of fear and anxiety
Anger and frustration recycled by the elusive pot of happiness
Denied by might
Fancy kills and cures for eagles
The very vision that feed their young
Create the the killer eaglet culture
Curved within the cosmic statutes
That feature and favor those who have mastered the art
Of feasting on others' tears to earn might
A bullet fired is a bullet sold
A shilling lost is a shilling gained
A deal sealed is a deal bargained
A conflict created is a carat added
A tear shed here, a smile sparked there
It's tick, and tock, tears and smiles
Round a vicious up on which we all stand
The bell tolls with each tick and tock
The wise ask not for whom it tolls
Unless, they can bell a cat pouncing for blood
