Musings - Time The Human Invention Poem by Paul Warren

Time was a human invention
Where we wanted to measure work expression
First it was the local gentry tower clock face
Without a minute hand it was an hourly race

Then we wanted to use every minute of the day
So a further clock hand was added right away
Then the seconds became important in the race
And time was put in our civilisation's right place

Now it's millionths of seconds measuring each one
When the importance is measuring and not what's done.
