Time Is A Pirate: So I Slandered It: Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Time is a pirate: so I slandered it:
But it smiled; and recoiled not
At my words:
Though I recoil and planning to retract
The words that I had uttered in Hypnosis
Yet Time, ah! Time’s so cunning
Knew well that under the Hypnosis
I uttered well, and wished that
All civilization would be in Hypnosis
That is from king and president to power less
Tycoon to relative poor: see!
All is relative on these tongues of earth
That from the Sun-circulating Oceans project:
Time is a pirate
Time is a pirate, emboldened I,
Uttered again, Time is a Pirate.
