Bring Back Archimedes

If I could breathe back life into one Archimedes would have to be the one And not just for fun. Inventors to fill a need is what we need Not ones that serve no need except greed. Archimedes once re-acclimatised could yet fit the bill If we give him a pill so he is not yet over the hill His inventions though blasts from the past Still apply to today's class. Every time I turn a screw I think of him anew. Filling a bath I cross his path. Shifting a rock with a lever makes me a believer That Archimedes could yet come back in favour. Problem solving was his game I am sure he could still put some current inventors to shame. For which we are all to blame For not telling them what we need And letting them invent for no need. Maybe that is why we have no modern day Archimedes, To meet our needs. To reinstate the original I see as the only way If we want to save the day. To avoid any glitch, I will steer him clear of the rich, So they can not get first pitch. It may not yet be too late, If we bring him back to this date, Our problems to relate And ask him to invent to suit our need with all speed To save our planet from our greed.
