Author's note: This pieces was inspired by the passage in Fahrenheit 451 about burning time. "The sun burnt every day. It burnt Time. The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen and the sun burnt Time, that meant that everything burnt!"
The sun’s rays
Beating
Blazing
Burning
The clock ticked
It chimed the hour
Each hour burned
Each hour saved
The hours up
Chimes
Whistles
Tick
Tock
Burning
Peeling hours away
Faster and faster
Tick
Tock
Old times
Old ways
Old hours
New days
The time is gone
It slipped away
The hours gone
None were saved
Our destiny waits
Until the new hour
Tick tock
Burning time
Tick tock
What comes next?
Tick tock
Our burned hours away
