Countless clocks count down …
Trapped in a time tied Hall of Mirrors,
We synchronise our beliefs
And accept the reality reflected
That a pointless point in time
On a superficial scale of history
Marks a new millennium
For all the people of the planet
Yet not so for the African Animist
The Judaist, or the Muslim
Neither followers of Confucius
The Buddha or Lao Tzu
Only those in religions self-absorbed -
Christian? Conservative? Corporate?
Only their narrow minds
By 2000 are spellbound
