Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Portal

 You have entered through a portal
 and are taken back in time
 It's then you realize
 There's about to be a crime

 Because you've read it in your history books
 and watched it on tv
 You're the only one
 that knows what is about to be

 But can you change history
 and this tragedy abate
 or has time itself
 Sealed the victim's fate

 You stand there  frozen for a few seconds
 Then you wave your hands and shout
 You point up to a building
 and then a shot rang out!

Victor Buhagiar January 18, 2024 at 2:27 AM Wars began with just one shot. Great poem.

Brandy Nicole January 17, 2024 at 7:44 PM Changing actions that have already taken place, rearranges moments in the future. Could be for the better, or, it could be a lot worse. Sometimes, leaving things alone is the right choice. Just depends, I suppose. You really have me thinking on this one, Joseph. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Paghunda Zahid January 17, 2024 at 6:40 AM Portals and time travel are my favourite topics. But I believe in a strange thing, the time line is preserved. Once you go back to past, there would be forces they would bind you and won't let you do anything. You will be enslaved. About future time travel, I am in doubt. I guess future doesn't exist

Hilda Greenhough January 16, 2024 at 7:47 PM Changing the future and controlling the future are separate ideas. Changing it may have worse outcomes. Yes, this poem really has me thinking. It's as hard to fathom as playing chess.

Mystic Rose Rose January 16, 2024 at 3:04 PM Wouldn't it be nice if we could change history or perhaps re arrange it a bit, nicely penned Joseph :)

Andrea Dietrich January 16, 2024 at 1:31 PM oh my, I know what time and place you were in!! it would do no good to change these things. Because it would mess with things in the future. I watch lots of time travel shows and love them, but always it causes more problems!

Ink Empress January 16, 2024 at 12:51 PM What a deep and meaningful write. Made me ponder too. I especially loved “ But can you change history and this tragedy abate or has time itself Sealed the victim's fate“ soul hitting really! Powerful! Pleasure reading your work always
