Countdown by the Numbers

Everywhere in the world, every minute of each
and every day, there is a countdown going on.
Can you hear the clock ticking?
With your own eyes, can you see the numbers
slipping away by years, months, days, hours,
minutes, seconds?
There may be a race to be run or a rocket on
the pad prepared to launch. We seem to be
preoccupied—If only there was more time.
Foolishly, we keep trying to amass and achieve
more and more, ever increasing our activities
needing to pursue.
See that fellow over there on the hill? He has
his hands on the detonator at the ready. I do
believe he’s looking over here at you and me.
Which one will it be? Gives one pause to wonder—
Is that a countdown we hear? Indeed, today may be
the day. By the numbers...5...4...3...2...1…
