A Time Traveller

‘Sit down’ ,she forced me
‘make sure u complete it’
And she thinks, this weird usual way
She can trigger my thoughts so as to say

But no she doesn’t quite realise
I m a traveller who visits timelines
I need no backpack, i need no food
All i need is myself all alone n a window in a room

And now that she shut that door behind her
I gear up for another visit of mine
I m probably gonna go back for now
I think, this time i will go back in time

And the pencil collapses on the paper
My head rests peacefully on the desk
I begin my journey as a traveller
Early in the 1500’s is wher i m, i guess

In the era of great men
When Da Vinci has secrets he codes
Newton is a part of a society
Probably no1 in this world knows

When the world was just about changing
And mankind has secrets to reveal
When the world is different from today
And yet still somewhere has the same feel

I then plunge for my timeline
Having seen enough i choose
To go forward ahead in life
Myself in time i can loose

Here i m come, o great future
In a flash of light, i would b there to see
How amazing or horrifying
Like we claim, would u be...

Expecting to see cars flying
And maybe high tech powered houses
I see none of that, but ur bright
And although we hv worried about u....u r all right

I see a better country, a prosperous new homeland
I see now, here a better world
And something still ancient about the wind n sands

And i return back to my room
Back to the present in time
Now i have a new lesson
A new song to rhyme

And when the teacher comes back
She asks me if i hv learnt nething to grasp
I can only smile and tell her a secret i know
‘mam, the future is only subject to our past’.
