My Time On Earth Poem by Richard Lackman
My Time On Earth
What if life took only one rotation of a fan
Birth and death occurring both within so short a span
Or how about an hour, so what difference would this be
Is it too short a time to count or would I still be me?
What if a life occurred completely within just one week?
Would we have time to search and find whatever we should seek?
Or how about one year? Would this be time enough to say
I lived my life completely and fulfilled it day by day
Perhaps a decade really is the logical extent
To figure out exactly what our time on earth has meant
A century may be too long, too long for us to stay
Avoiding many obstacles while keeping death at bay
Do lives derive their value from the length of time we're here
Does the metronome of life decide who's worthless and who's dear
Or is it not at all that way, do we derive our worth
Within our daily battles on this battleground called Earth
It must be more than time to say who's better and who's best
Who follows or who leads as an example for the rest
I only hope my epitaph contains a simple rhyme
Explaining how my life on earth made good use of my time.
The theory of special relativity explains how space and time are linked for objects that are moving at a consistent speed in a straight line.... Simply put, as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to go any faster than light travels.
it is philosophical poem indirectly addressing the Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, you are right the length of time are various according to the speed and size of different Physics, might the system of time are not existed on some other planets, only thing which we know is that as Poe said: this life is a dream within dream...10/10 for this amazing poem, thanks for sharing
