When one is perpetually stalked,
One will eventually fall. One can
Run and evade, but we are only man
And thus mortal. The eternal "tick tock"
Cannot be undone. Unlike Cold, life's clock
Cannot be fought, for time has its own plan.
Everyone, from young to old, is damned
To succumb to the talons of the hawk.
Though a predator time bay be, it forms
Us, defines us, builds us to who we are.
The Predator destroys and teaches you.
A wise mentor and a terrible storm,
Time is a unique force. Though it may mar
Us, it is part of our life, and death, and truth
-Alex Sirotzki
