The Time Paradox

Moving forth and backwards
In our own know three dimensions 
Is understood and simple
It’s our basic comprehension. 

Yet adding in an axial fourth
We become confused
Time just keeps on ticking
All our protests are refused. 

Gravity affects the speed
At which our time proceeds
Yet always marching forward
Not affected by man’s deed. 

To travel where we wish in time,
Is something we unable
To achieve but we should not
Remove it from the table. 

To master temporal travel
Will always be the goal
But who knows what is lurking
Inside of a Black hole

Never giving up the hope 
We’ll master it one day,
To travel to the time we want
Is just the human way. 

Accepting limitations
Of the possibilities of time
Is how we will stay grounded 
But to dream is not a crime. 

So for now, keep on watching
Doc Brown and McFly
Time travel may be out there
Just keep reaching for the sky.
