My fellow Americans,
the hour is dark.
Hence I stand before you
with a heavy heart.
Something is coming.
Something man has never seen.
An attack lacking precedent
within the pages of history.
As you all well know
we have many foes.
Based upon decades of intelligence
we know a super technology
has been in development.
This thing will change our paradigm
for it is designed to accelerate Time.
The rate at which you age
will rapidly climb.
Happy events?
They will pass on a dime.
According to radar
it's approaching the West Coast.
Optically elusive
it's sorta like a ghost.
Visible one minute then missing
as if somehow it's hopping dimensions.
This bomb is like none ever before faced
during the storied saga of the human race.
According to analysis by our military brass
you won't hear a boom or feel any blast.
There'll be no obvious harm to the landscape.
No buildings razed or landmarks erased.
Afterward you won't find debris or rubble.
Instead the damage will be more subtle.
Once you behold the image in the mirror
the tragic fallout will become much clearer.
Smooth skin of youth
will crinkle into wrinkles.
Sandy strands of hair
with gray will be sprinkled.
This will take place
before your dimming eyes.
Weakening hearts will race
as Time literally flies.
It will seem as if you're getting mocked
by the furious spinning of the clock.
The lesson lurking within all this?
Time is...was...the greatest of gifts.
Nothing on Earth abides or forever lasts.
Who knew it would ever pass this fast?
The Time Bomb will soon upon us fall.
May God eternal have mercy on us all.
