Calendar Lives

Dates, days, minutes,
Minions of time.
A compass to the future
Compassing the destiny of millions
Of little men. The sitting ducks
Of big booming toys.
Big kids must play the
Lopsided game. And every throw
Of dice will alter the Calendar
Lives of the little men
In sorry lands.

The numbers change on
The calendar and
Time ends in another land.
Still they cant begin at
t=0. The superpower kids
dont play fair. Time is
twisted from the zeroth
Moment, for they command
The minions of time. They blow
Away civilization developed in eons
For they have the toys.

A rock shatters somewhere
as a country flounders in dispair. Just
Another page in their calendar lives.
