In the midst of my sweet childhood
days
I came across a gorgeous machine.
It was known by different names
But I called it my time machine.
A big roar, heard in the beginning
When I watchfully switched it to
life.
I was in the middle of a battle
Fought around a century ago.
People, people running all around
Fighting without a reason I know.
Roars of victory and screams in
fear
I failed to grasp their different
tongue.
Back of horses, on the elephants
They fought a battle unlike to me.
Scenes of horror and bloodshed I
saw
Closing my eyes I pressed the
button.
Quiet different scenes I opened
In a beautiful well-furnished room
Witnessing an intense private scene
The meaning I couldn't comprehend.
It was surely in someone’s bedroom
Possibly a newly wedded one
Doing in light, should be in the
dark
I changed the scene pressing the
button.
Different images flashes in front
Again fallen to a battle field
Alien I was and alien it is
People around and the way they
fight.
It was in a different planet
Rounding around a bright little
star.
They are different and their weapons
Even the light different from us.
Then I decided to check the options
Of this marvelous magic machine.
It can crop centuries to an hour
And can extend an hour to a year.
It takes you to places in a blink
Even to somewhere outside the earth
To the new cities, towns or
villages
And the deepest forest or the sea.
While I was admiring the machine
A clear loud rumble came from my
back.
Not from the machine sitting in
front
It was from the real world where I
live.
‘Switch of the TV, go to your room
To complete the homework, remaining’
My father is strict and to be
obeyed
But I will come back, dear time
machine!
