The Economy Of Time
A time paradox, even the shifting of sand,
One slip in the economy of time's movement,
Can send ripples that would change life.
Going to the future has its own dilemmas,
For you can change a future that is unwritten,
As of yet, it is not set in the linear line of time.
A paradox not create, a parallel paradox shift,
But would it alter the direction that it was on.
A paradox shift in the past on the other hand,
Would alter the life that we now live, today,
Creating a parallel line that time has shifted.
The probability of where time would go,
Seems to be beyond the scope of reason.
The variables that would run wild in time,
No predictable variance could make a rhyme.
The Butterfly Effect may create havoc for us,
Leaving us stranded in a lost serious of shifts,
Creating a paradox that is on a parallel line,
Causing a singularity of a linear plane lost.
Where the economy of time as we now know it,
Would be lost to the death of a butterfly's life.
Therefore the transverse shift in time travel,
Could potentially bankrupt time of its purpose.
