I just got a great idea.

If you don't feel like writing a poem, but want to hear one on that topic, just request it, and I'll write it below. I didn't know where else to put this, but I felt like giving it a try. I'll write my response below yours.

But words will break my heart"

I Fell into the past,
Saw the history of man.

Some call it primative,
I've been there, I know better
I didn't see war,
I didn't see murder,
I didn't see pollution, tall buildings
No words of hate
And now I wonder
Who is primative after all.

I dwell in the present,
Not good enough for many,
Things keep changing
I know better
I didn't see age,
I didn't see stiving,
The world was full of lazy poeople.

I saw the future,
nothing more,
They were still trying
To make things better
I saw pain
I saw death
I saw war,
Things were getting worse

I live in the present
I dwell in the past
I fear the future.
I've been there
I know better

Time travel: not a strenght of mine... I tried.

But words will break my heart"
