Science Fiction - The Time Continuum Poem by Paul Warren

We work hard together in the Time Continuum
It is 2255 and we have finally exploring history as one
We have cracked Einstein's theories of light that abound
And now we have sent our drones to the past to see what will be found

These drones are reddish glowering balls of light
That will record what they see during these scientific flights
We have already had pictures of the Roman Legions in Britain
And we were at Trafalgar with Nelson when he was shot by an assassin

We were looking for historic records of our drone flights
To see if our missions had interfered with history that wouldn't be right
We have found Churchill wrote of them in the Great War
And again during the Second World War battles in an unknown score

American and British airmen fighting in the skies saw Foo Fighters over Europe
The name given to our drones as they flew in formation with these groups
And we continue observing all along even losing a drone that we sent
It crashed at Roswell in the 1950s and it made headlines we couldn't prevent

So we have been looking at these events that are history to us
And that you have written down in all of your monumental fuss
Which brings me to why I have picked you out sitting in your lounge room
We need a witness testimony to The Event that will happen to the Earth soon.
