Imagination

Somewhere on another world in a far away galaxy, Intelligent life forms built a telescope, so powerful our planet they could see I also built a similar contraption then maxed out the zoom, Now I witness these same beings observing earth from a room And as they zoom in closer it’s dinosaurs they see, not me This is no illusion, nor does it defy relativity I’m in their far off future watching them observe earths distant past, I spot a real T Rex on their monitor Barney I nickname him, aghast! I’m live streaming earth via a planet no one has ever heard, Even though the creatures I see are 66 million years dead, We humans have not evolved yet for we’re light parsecs ahead Every observable thing that has happened embeds in photons racing through space, All we need to unlock them is technology, and be standing in the right place I hope you follow my postulation these implications are quite intense, What good are our imaginations without trying to make some sense. Wow! here’s a thought about this poem say on a planet 2000 light years away, If by chance they observe Jerusalem Christ son of man! what more need I say

One for the creative imagination David. Jumping light speed 66 million years ahead from Barney to Jesus.

Yeah Christopher I was getting carried away thinking about the science behind the time travel paradox I think this may be a way around it, in my mind anyway, cheers David

Hi David. A terrific poem here.... You called him Barney, so clumsy!! The light speed concept and time warp is way above my head, I need to read a lot more to begin - you just summed up the astounding possibilities with whimsy and poetic prowess.

Thank you so much Sigrid, I do ponder the universe and creation and when discover a paradox my mind runs free, I think the science here will hold up if and when the technology is developed, cheers David
