Pandora’s Clock

Pandora’s Clock Watch out, watch out It’s pandora's clock It’s pandora's clock Where time just stops And we repeat and repeat Until the world gets lost Don’t ever go near pandora's clock. We preach and teach about self-righteous men Who entrapped their enemies Who slaughtered their kin. We emulate and segregate We diminish and hate. We build up a lie To make our weakness seem great. Watch out, watch out It’s pandora's clock It’s pandora's clock Where time just stops And we repeat and repeat Until the world gets lost Don’t ever go near pandora's clock. Something isn’t right about going back in time To fix something broken Or to straighten out a line. We made love like teenagers When we were in our prime We took every coincidence As a powerful sign We die in timeless loops of fate We die in timeless loops of fate We die in timeless loops of fate We’re spiraling into a form of devil’s flock Let’s wind this up before it’s too late. And never go near pandora's clock. From the book of sci-fi short stories "The Redesigned Negro" by Byron Haskins
