Second's Hand

The Man :



I wonder how much time I wasted ,

Looking at you ,

Admiring the way you worked ,

Tirelessly ..day in and day out,

I did fancy every form of you ,

I carried you with me …..

Wherever I went !

I considered you as a good companion ,

A companion who would remind me ,

Of my duties and responsibilities,





But why did you cheat me ?

You ‘ve got an inner motive …don’t you ?

I spent so much of time looking at you ,

Not knowing that its you …

You wretched clock !

Are’nt you the one who ticks life away !

Every move of your needle ..does’nt it shorten my life?

Do you think I must forgive you ?

Spill out your motive …why this breach of faith ?





The clock :



You ignorant human being !

How can you ever think of something so mean..

I agree you fancied every form of me ,

But why do you think you did so ?

Isn’t it because you consider me precious ?

I do not have a motive …

But I do have a duty …which I am proud to fulfill

I am not here just to tick life away …but I am ,

Here to make you realize how precious your life is ..

So that you enjoy every bit of it to the fullest,

So that you value every second you are going to spend ,

So that you would treasure and cherish every second you spent in the past ,





So why don’t you shut up !

And get going with your life …

Instead of disturbing me ,because I,

Have a duty to fulfill and so do you !
