WHO INVENTED TIME?
Time, you are a mere illusion,
You only exist in our mind,
A fourth dimensional abstract entity,
An enigma of some kind!
We humans have invented you,
And brought you to our scene;
But like the moth you feed on our
calendars,
To fatten up from within!
Necessity, the mother of inventions,
Created the calendar and the clock;
Which cater to our needs, -
Does it come to you as a shock! ?
With these inventions we measure, -
Our rotations around the burning sun,
While in your self - delusion,
You think of having all the fun!
Our ageing is a biological process, all
starts from within,
Right from our conception, programmed
in our very genes!
Our monuments wither, and our landscapes
waste,
All due to environment and weather, and
not at your behest!
Our lust for power, our hunger and greed,
Have destroyed civilizations, wiping it out
complete!
But we donot succumb to you, nor accept
defeat!
We humans die, when our organs fail,
And not because of you, as any doctor
would tell!
Time, you exist all due to our humanity,
It is only because we accomodate you, -
With a cordial spirit of relativity!
Yet you try to brow beat us,
O what audacity!
Time, if you want importance, and wish
to co-exist,
At all times you must remain subservient,
and cater to our needs!
Though in reality you are only an imposter, -
Of the fourth dimensional kind,
Time, you only remain, as a figment of
my mind!

Time well exploited? Or time well used? umpteen questions arise.......thoughts original.... Nice to see tyrant Time subserviant and subdued into exhistence In merely a cordial spirit of relativity!
Right from our conception, programmed in our very genes....... With a cordial spirit of relativity! .............. very much oriiginal, giving time a new connotation by completely rejecting it....your take all credit and and all blame from Time and made it free.....liked it.

I would like to translate this poem
Killing the time, pass the time, share our time, spend the time, less time, more time, no time. In the end, we all go but time remains. But as to your question- who invented time, it is He who has no beginning and no end.
