    Tick tock,
    The clock is ticking away,
    Thoughts rush through their minds,
    Yet nothing is being done.
    Click clack,
    They type away at their computers,
    Plenty of commands,
    Yet nothing truly said.
    They fall in line,
    They wait for their time to shine,
    Yet never knowing what it is,
    That they are really there for.
    It's a sad life,
    One lives,
    When they have nothing to live for,
    Now isnt it?

    "When they have nothing to live for" —though this statement is deeply poetic, I don't share its sentiment. One lives because of hope; without hope there's nothing to live for. You are a fine writer, a deep thinking poet. Bravo!

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
