THE TIMEKEEPER

The Timekeeper

I have walked past the Frozen Mountains

Mountains which had crumbled long ago

I’ve been living through many old times

I now decide where things are to go

I have walked past all the seven seas

Them; I swallowed in a single gulp

The fish, I made them stand and walk

To the holy hillocks and squat

I have walked past all humanity

I’ve watched them blame themselves

The women corrupt everything they touch

The men kill everything that walks

I have walked past divinity

I pray to God all the same

I knelt at that holy place

Till I was bathed in his light

I have walked past several tombs

Past the valiant fallen, I’ve walked

They grimaced from their graves

Their ugly features were rotting

I have walked past true love

I cried when it was lost

I regained my majestic stature

Then I begot the Wonderwall

I’ve walked past the hideous past

I walk past the painful present

I’ll walk past the uncertain tomorrow

For I am the Keeper of them all
