Analysis of Tick-Tock

Ashley Ayala 1995 (Louisiana)



Fortuitous fruition
Altered by
Consciousness
Belittled by
Self-doubt
Unabhoradly
Blasphemed-
Scientific discoveries?
Or distractions?
Leading us
Astray
Away, far away
From He
Who saves
Times are ending
Unfortunately for
The flesh
But don't fret
We haven't made
It there; just
Yet.
