The Pendulum Was A Little More Kind Poem by Bryan Atneosen

The Pendulum Was A Little More Kind



The Pendulum was a little more kind
Divvying-out time in amounts we can handle
It's behavior more akin to the hour-glass
Not a fair-weather friend like the sundial

Today's digital trend is unending
Slicing-up time, chronological knife
Dissecting and deleting each second
Too eager to count, what is left of our life
