The band

Like an orchestra they play different instruments moving the same body The more one turns and ticks , the more the steps increases the more the steps increases the more the other instrument beats Playing side by side closely together, most times but not always forever Sometimes both may take a short break. one to regain strength one to quit They play there sound one for the society one for the heart The music rings controlling everything tick, the beat, the beat, tick, tick tick, the beat, the beat tick, tick Each stroke a millstone, each rate an accomplishment Reminding us this is the life reminding we have life So play no words just beats, nothing but the beats at a rate no words just tick, tick, tick, tick tocks tock, tock, tock, tock ticks Not knowing when any player will give up call it quits Dancing more to one instrument hypnotized maybe The band is on your hand What time is it? time to live or leave for work?
