Sands of time, or so they say.

I wonder if an alien is holding a capsule, watching the grains trickle
slowly when human kind was young, to a roaring sandstorm as we age
disgracefully.

Do they tap to get our attention – warn us of a future we need to change?

Earth as a child, those quarters meant we could speed time up, to a more
developed world.

To an adult where we only concentrate on the years, to slow time down.

It doesn’t work though.

Ice caps are melting, the world is heating to dangerous levels

So they say.
