Wishing that day 'd never dawned!

Wishing that day 'd never dawned!

Tick tock, tick tock rocked the giant pendulum clock

Hypnotizing, translating me to a period ages ago

Sort of time warp;

Memories of instances etched in my brain

Shuffling through every piercing instance,

Wishing that day had never dawned!

In chronological order- the very first voice from the past,

Ain’t nostalgic, for I was startled!

Kingly beast Dino that ruled over was wiped off

Was it any mean trick of a sorcerer?

Why couldn’t Eve resist the luscious bright red apple?

Only wishing that day had never dawned!

Civilization proliferated,

Tribes did increase

Crusades, genocides, WW, battles marred the world I didn’t know

Blood splatter, espionage, the highhandedness of axis powers

Countering them, the allies– Hitler, his cronies with quarter a moustache

Wishing that very day had never dawned!

How I was thrilled listening about Alexander, Caesar,

Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Aztecs, Indians;

Why couldn’t I’ve seen it all?

Wish it were all real like yesterday!

Couldn’t Shakespeare, Napoleon and the alike been my chums?

Alas, that day would never dawn!

Then came an era when the word – "Scientia”

Dispelled and warded off faiths and beliefs

Was it an arch enemy of church?  Well, Yeah!

Few enlightened –brutally murdered,

Silencing the intellectual rest

Wishing that day had never dawned!

Columbus, colonizers crossed the blue seas

Discovering America and other virgin lands

Living a king’s life;

Propagating slavery and trade,

Plundering, taking away the riches

Wishing that day had never dawned!

Three Mile Island, Krakatau, Haiti, Tsunami,

Great depression and an endless list of others

Ramshackl’d mankind and nature!

Why couldn’t the twelve children of the Year sense it earlier?

Couldn’t they’ve skipped a day?

Now I only wish that day had never dawned!

  

Having had enough of it,

With all my might, I sprang to life again,

Blinding my eyes, shutting my mind

Laid my imagination to rest

Popped an aspirin to set my pounding head

Equally wishing this day had never dawned!
