THE TIME MACHINE

The merciless school ….the study sickness,

And the habit of facing teachers acidic songs,

For I thought of completing the notes later...

But this clock always proves me wrong.

I cursed the subjects now and then,

Which made me nothing but a killer of time,

Till my mind struck a brilliant idea,

And I dreamt of myself travelling through time.

I wished I knew more of science,

For I would have made a time machine for sure;

And travel back to the rosy past,

And live my childhood once more.

I dreamt of passing lightning flashes,

When time began to blur;

The earth and clock moving anticlockwise,

Till I reach the place where peace had won.

Being weak in science has always been shameful,

The theories will definitely turn you into a maniac;

But if I had a time machine, I promise,

There wouldn’t be any subject like that.

I would have gone back in time,

When the apple was about to fall on Newton’s head,

Replace the apple with a pumpkin,

Newton would have gone to a hospital bed.

Not to spare that Thompson,

Busy discovering electrons and proton,

I would have disturbed all his equations,

Explosions would have followed on and on.

Making a time machine is impossible for me,

It’s a task like searching for stars

But if I succeed in reality

For me it would be a dream come true.
