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
