Changing of the Past
Write about a key moment in world history that you would alter and describe how the world would be different had fate gone a different route. Fiction and poetry only. Be creative, but stay in reality. Best of Luck to all.
It’s like wiping yourself from existence
The changing of the past
Or crossing an alternate timeline
Or suffering from selective amnesia
The past cannot be changed
Else you’ll upend the very fabric
Of the great things you become
The brilliant things you learnt
So by default,
You’d be a worse version of you
The worst ever!
No empathy
No understanding of the broader picture
You’d remain narrow minded
Like a wheelbarrow
Having no choice about spilling its contents
Well having no choices
Is not a good look
Be good to yourself
And say....
I regret only that anyone got hurt
But I’m glad I learnt
Success only comes by falling over
Even if it is only once
