A Fight Against Time Diana Venditti
Time the enemy ,no longer embraced as a friend
She hurried on stoically,no help to them would lend
Like a bored lover,in the revelry of night
sadistically tearing rents,to create the dawns first light
She so just, now injust,sarcastic in her mocking
Cares not for the tears of the mother babe in cradle rocking
She hurries on as if possesed with the lust for speed
Quickly eating every hour, covetous in her greed
He sees the light flicker,lack of air,it burns dim
The cup of desperation full,surpasses now the rim
Then time,as if bored with her cruel game
Stands aside,he hears the voice calling out his name
They worked tearing rock and rubble with their blood streaked hands
In clasidra,slows the course,now with pity flow the sands
They break through,the shout goes up,their all alive and well
Then time repents,as angels wings rescue them from their hell
Twenty men fought with timeand won upon that day
This is the mine where time stood still you'll hear the people say.
