Clocking in time

             Clockertime is mechanical chronology

Clickering clackering on the timeline

Straighteningly narrow to a thin finality

Riveting each moment to the banality

Spot welded on the robotic personality

Marching along an avenue to a factory

Constructed in the mind by a psychology

Determined to destroy our human sanity

By the scientific perfection of a sociology

Crushing each soul by the party ideology

That labour is liberty and noble sacrifice

In the service of the party bosses economy

And the opposite attraction of capitalism

Are mirror images of that cruel iniquity

Chaining the human soul to servile pity.

OMG, the beat, the flow, the rhyme of this- stellar! The message scathing, stark, apocalyptic. The Beat Poets snap their fingers to your poem, Duncan, as do The Who- “ the party on the left, is like the party on the right”...tra la..”Clockertime” ticking down to the fall of humanity, sanity..society’s ills “chaining the human soul to servile pity.”-amazing writing. I snap my fingers and bow to the poet of this Master Class work. Bravo Duncan!
