If our blood was time Ticking, pumping, beat and chime Is your droplet a diamond or dime? As we watch it fly Every week, a litre goes by How soon before you would die? Precious minutes on roads, filled with your rage travelling alone to accelerated old age Listen to the vampire, guised as a sage? Build up his castle earning minimum wage? All around me I see and hear Our time spent on money and fear Who of us would outlast a year? If your blood was time Billionaires are bosses of crime The corporate Tenochtitlan, most sublime Like rivers flowing sanguine down the pyramid Their HQ towers hemorrhage time in myriad This is our invisible menstrual period I will bloat and cramp no more Shed for our cannibal chronovore I bleed for life evermore
