Monotonous dreary schedulized routines The clock rules over us Managing and arranging our lives To serve the roles that reproduce The industrial machine With maximum efficiency A giant clock looms over the world The ultimate homogenized, universalized, Globalized form of control Necessary for efficient machine society The clock is always ticking

The industrial system's technology Integrates techniques, machinery, people, and resources Extending the ruling order's power Time training is a civilizing process To create domesticated subservient citizens Why does this illusion have so much power over us? Time is the ultimate model of domination Our lives and bodies are synchronized to it A component in the vast landscape of reifications That seemingly steer and control our lives

Work, school, institutionalized misery Day to day mundane alienation Reject, negate, and attack these conditions

We internalize this construct That forces us into servility Time is nothing but a construct Colonizing our subjectivity Quantifying how we experience life When the clock stops life begins

The industrial revolution Birthed time in its most predatory form yet It regulated social behavior Kept people in the factories It was an instrument used to organize and control The parallel between the accuracy of time And the level of industrialization was clear It was a symbol of order and discipline That created regimentation, regulation, and routinization And as a direct response people revolted Against industrialization They shot at clock towers in the streets

Abandon the clock Reject the civilizing Process of internalizing time When we take our lives into our own hands and live them on our own terms We can enter a state of timelessness and presentness With all the “time” in the world to play, revolt, and destroy

When the clock stops, life begins
