Who I'd Like to Meet

 

 

 

If I could travel back in time,

I’d love to meet those gods of rhyme -

Shakespeare, Dickinson, Crane, and Poe

Are just a few I’d like to know.

And I would love a meal or two

With Nietzsche, Freud, and Camus too.

Jeanne d'Arc is on the list,

And Dostoevsky can’t be missed.

But for now I’m content to stay

Right where I am - at least today.

oh dear i would give anything to have such a nice meating ,with them ,i want to tell i have got here to this place only through their wonderful words they put inside my head ,true they changed the way i look to this miserable world gave me a better insight ,but i got tired too ,they gave me along so many messages to try to and tell ,they think its easy ,be then maybe ,but if they see the world now ,i would have told them its too hard to get your message as you want it to be understood ,for nobody would listen no body would care they would even laugh at me ,but the respect and love i have for you i will try and try, you gave me a lot ,this is the way to thank you,but i wish it was easy ,its definitely mission impossible,you spoke of dreamy wonderful words ,i could hardly get to understand them and now you want me to build some of the kind you would like it could never be done my friends and my beautiful masters,i tried so hard ,but everything is against me ,and i was the laugh of them all ,but i will forever try and try
