Time Machine Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Time Machine

Rating: 4.8


I was born in 1838
I built a time machine
in my head
I traveled faster
than the speed of light

I landed in 2008
I saw a world
that had been torn apart

I tried to go back
to tell them
what they would start
but my mind wouldn't let me
it had Fallen apart

Now I have to stay
in a world torn apart
by the wars and the shams
they call the greed of man

Very interesting. Vipins gave an answer I would like to say, however, I suggest do not dwell on the problems, because what you think you get. If you live each day as a new day, and hope in a better tomorrow, that will come to you. I have it, because I do not care what goes on far from me, even near, I know who ever is there that is their lesson in life to overcome and learn from. I am in the hands of a wonderful God, that is what I know. However, the poem is written beautifully picturing the present situations.

Great idea of time machine, and i like the play of words mind..fallen apart and world torn apart creating a causality-consequences rhythmical sensation..Cristina Teodor
