To Now, This Multi-Diverse Present Tense Poem by Ananta Madhavan

I credit Macbeth's famous monologue
And Sir Thomas Munro's Utopia.
But I want to say my piece.

Yesterday, yesterday and the day-before,
Crept in this hectic pace into the Past,
To the last syllable of recorded chronicles,
While all our tomorrows were lighting fools
To Now, this multi-diverse Present tense.

Out, out, thou long-enduring Light-Emitting Diode;
Thou art, after all, a narrow-focus ‘illuminator'.
Even a candle can shed its tender beams around.
You are for Utopians afloat on their own Cloud Nine,
Or disillusioned cynics who have grown Dystopian.
