If you could do what you like with time,
If you could turn back the hands of time,
If you could shorten time,
If you could prolong time,
If you could stop time,
Will you really do it?
If you could turn back the hands of time,
Will you for a single mistake,
Go over the pains and tears again?
Will you forfeit the achievements
And all that you have passed over,
To correct a single error?
If you could shorten time,
Will you choose to make,
A day 24 minutes, instead of hours?
Will you choose to cut the flow of things
For the sake of your enthusiasm, expectations or circumstances?
Will you really do that to humanity?
If you could prolong time,
Will you for the pleasure you enjoy,
Not move on with life again?
Will you make the ephemeral permanent?
Will you selfishly hold onto time?
Will you do that to humanity?
If you could stop time,
And cause the whole world to hold their breath,
Will you do that too?
Will you put an end to others life,
Because of your pains?
You wouldn't wanna do that, will you?
If you've got the times in your hands,
And the world at the tip of your fingers,
Will you really act in your favour?
Will you not think of others?
Will you act irrationally?
I really hope you wouldn't.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Reading through this lines of poetry, I find myself asking if I would really alter time if I had the power to do so, I thought for a while and then responded,
I would rather change some of the occurrences that happened within time time, rather than altering the course of time.
But then I guess that would be acting irrational. Life must move on, we believe tomorrow holds greater things, so let's live our ideal life today, leaving time and nature to take it's course.
Altering the things that happen in time rather than what happens through the course of time... I felt that. That's deep and I understand your angle through that. The truth is, time must move on and we need to let things take its course.
If I could have my life back again, which I am now 26 years old, if I were 10 years old again, I would definitely want to change some things in life. One is that I would like to become a doctor because A doctor helps people a lot and it does a lot of good for people But it is a fact that this has never happened till now and it will not happen in the next life, so it is better that a person should be thankful for what he has and work hard to improve his life.
This is a beautiful poetry. Seriously, Have you tried to record a video for your TikTok or Instagram account? You get to record, watch, delete and record again until you are able to get it right. You know from there that if we could go back to the hands of time, the same mistakes might occur until we get it right. As humans we most at times think we could do better if we could go back to the hands of time but that's a big fallacy in our head. We might still go back and make mistakes in the same things because we are humans and not God. The worst aspect is every body will be trying to get it right and we will be trap in the past just because some fellow wants to make it right, that won't be fair at all. That is why, life must continue because as we keep moving, we are getting better.
This is beautiful. What a comment and I must say you nailed it. We make mistakes...life goes on and we have to keep going. We have to keep pushing and understand that life sometimes need to take its course.
In the same way, even if all things are within the power of man, then man should never be proud and thus should live a simple life and should do more to help people as much as possible so that his life is easy. It should be done and in the future people will not be able to say that you did bad things to people, so it is better to live this life with the help of each other.
Thank you very much my friend for this. Another insightful comment as usual.
Most welcome dear.
Very cool poem friend, I think we all have passed that question sometime in our lives, what would become of us in the future, correct some mistake of the past or that at least the day had 30 hours but bueh, in the end the time is fine as it is, no need to give so many turns to the matter, very thoughtful poem friend.
Thank you very much my friend. You know I always love your perspective through comments. This is another good one. Thank you for this.
Excellent writing as always my friend time is the most valuable thing we all have and it is beautiful just the way it is, abrazo ♥
I would turn the hands of time if I could, not for the whole world though because that would be an act of selfishness as many have been living their best.
I would turn it retrospectively for myself
For the errors that are not correctable now
For the ones I have lost
For the 'I's that needed to be dotted and for the 'T's that needed to be crossed.
It is crazy how time is irreversible
Some scary shit
More reason why we have to be on our ten toes, doing all what we need to do at the best times we need to do them and at the right places.
I really wish I could have some super powers over 'time'
Nice one, man.
what a lovely poetry I enjoyed reading it
Thank you very much, Goldice.
