GAUGING TIME by Tom Jensen
Cracks upon the walls
Pacing up and down the halls
When the walls start closing in
Then the end will now begin
Freedom is stripped away
As today mirrors every other day
When time starts growing old
Then what a price we pay
You don’t gauge time by the clock
That’s hanging on the wall
You tell time by the calendar
That’s hanging in the hall
The time you got in
That’s not what it’s about
It’s the days you got left
Before they let you out
