Poor Pointers !!!!

Idle mind blames the needles of the clock.....
Poor Pointers !!!!
Needles of the clock are teasing.
They seem to be not moving.
Longer one is too lazy to travel.
Little one doesn’t like the hour bell.
They don’t let the time pass thro’.
It’s really hard for time to move a second or two!
The hour needle has sworn to move at snail’s pace.
That minute needle chooses to be on a slow chase.
It takes no initiative to overtake the hour pointer.
Shown is least interest to move any further.
Both together double the hours, twenty four.
Day and night are extended as never before!
How to correct these pointers, two?
To move faster, what should they do?
Perfect are my speed and pace cries the clock!
My pointers never stop the time or block?
I work day and night with no rest or break.
How do I become responsible for strained neck?!
My needles being constantly looked at, is not their fault.
Poor pointers are ever on their job without a stop or halt.
For inactive body and idle mind, I seem to be slow!
This unfair blame, I will not take lying low!
