Why Kant you tell me the time?

Father time legendarily and Omni potently
 existentially linkedin, binding cradle to grave
since advent of homo sapiens, the whiffed bald credo
 an employee most adhere ta have

and keep source of income, subtly graduated punctuality
   as necessary benefit extant.
   More so thru recent existence

lest one coon sitter themselves a knave
leveraged leitmotif leavened with glissando encomiums,
   where most productive worker received plaudits and rave
congenially adroit or trendy tome tinged tiffed fanny tirade
   whar tardiness brought “dressing down”, which criticism did in vade
the hue man bereft of work to embark venture like a capitalist
And dig up buried treasure at bottom of ocean riches weigh Bach
History of civilization replete with significance
   burden being tethered by the wrist to the clock
fragments of bygone glorious peoples,
which material tracks leads archeologists to flock
   painstaking and backbreaking endeavors  
   thru layers of soil to sift ad hoc
crude or sophisticated implements
   affianced for’er to Chromos, emasculating as dork geek or jock
garnered wrist bound humans since birth
   to analog than digital LifeLock
ineluctably hash tagged, kowtowed, and metered
   nose pierced oculus rift at any o’clock.
A linear and/or sinusoidal geometric pattern synchronized hubbub to chase
like rat in a cage - describing Primates ascending to face
since dawn of civilization, an inherent place
   Mechanistic rubric (wharf oar this small, medium at large)
bounds the human race
artificial construct encompassing genus individual’s kraal space
   manifests orbits as mankind forever and anon accrued cutting edge
galvanizing inordinate kickstarter trace
   sing eternally elusive grasp as apprized viz “ode to a Grecian Urn”
embossed on Keats poetic vase.
Nostalgia for era when pace of life much more leisure
   akin to Bing able to kick
back and enjoy the simple unrehearsed acts
   of Mother Nature who das not rush with a lick
   Kit tee split pronto, now the middling class doth feel prod and prick
   fancy, how twenty first century rat race stirs a redolent and quick
where advantage squeezed from every second,
   this iz  a woeful institutional holistic power rigged rubric
   punctual as a star smartly attired to evince caricature shtick
   scored sans slip stream time didst tick
   tock of fobs gave pause to query fellow citizen, one named Ulrich
   or a gallivanting lass with a winning smile, thus aptly tagged as Vick
   whatsapp pin ning wrought in place of burning candle wick.
