The Time Machine Poem by Thor Fabian Pettersen
The Time Machine
Time and time and time again,
I have traveled back and forth. And then,
I have traveled as far as the eye can see.
I have been what all men dream to be.
I have posed as the Pharaoh of long ago.
I have watched the dinosaurs forgo.
I have witnessed the dawn of the human race.
Seen my own birth taken place.
Traversed the future of the earth and space
Is pulling you in out there—I have seen the wall.
I fear, my dearest, I have seen it all.
‘Tis not a rhyme, but a crime I pen.
I have seen the beginning—and the end.
I have killed my grandfather, time again!
So now I travel back to thee to free my friend
From e'er inventing this ghastly apparatus!
Rising into a flamboyant pyre,
It can e'er fuel the fire;
Never quench the heart's desire!
In time it will be—
In time you'll see,
It can never save your marital status.
Her demands were never half as mean,
‘Fore the invention of the
Time machine.
Poem and music by Thor Fabian Pettersen (Zorabia.com)
My big insight that I want to share with all: Imagine sitting on a beam of light looking back at the universe. What would you see? You would see everything as frozen in time. But, if things were eternally frozen, which they are on the light's point of view, then there was no time in which things could freeze. Consequently, then, since we have no time in which anything can ever be, we have no thing. Nothingness.
We came from nothingness!
With Einstein, I saw how it all began! (You may not believe it, though.)
