If I Could Go Back...(Inspired At Starbucks#6)
If I could back and
assassinate Plato
I would
No joke
if only the Time Machine
was scripture and H.G.Wells
was a prophet
I could go back and
assassinate Plato
I one time you want Sci Fi
to cease being fiction
is only for selfish reasons
never do we say: "Hot damn
bring on War of the Worlds!"
why do I want to assassinate
Plato?
cuz Plato pisses me off
his arrogant ass assumed he
was right
people like that deserve to be
taken out of their misery
But
then again
maybe
just maybe
no joke
I'm wrong
wrong about Plato deserving death
wrong about Plato not mattering
maybe I'm wasting to much
time on him
maybe that actually means something
maybe
just maybe
no joke
Plato DOES matter
Plato DOES amount to something
keep this to yourself
don't tell anyone
you'll hurt my ego and pride
if you tell anyone
maybe
just maybe, not joke
I'll..........well you know
