D ays pass by; an endless loop of time.

I 'm surly going insane

S econds, minutes, hours, days.

T ime eventually comes to eat us all.

R acing against the clock; I try to live.

A lways doomed to the same system.

C apitalism reaps my soul

T ime becomes money; money becomes time.

I need a way out, a distraction.

O ne day it will stop?

N o ... I fear no one gets out alive.

About the Creator

Lane Burns

I am a Poet and an inspiring short story, one day novel writer.

I like to write in free verse mostly, but am heavily inspired by Emily Dickenson, and tend to create my own rules and ideas as well.
