The Masks of Time.

I put on the grey mask and I saw,

The destruction of Pompeii,

The volcanic ash rising above me,

Bones sinking sadly into the ground.

I put on the mask of Mexico and I saw,

The Spanish melting the Mayan’s gold into bars,

The day of the dead festival taking place,

And the people of Chichen Itza staring at me.

I put on the mask of art and I saw,

Vincent Van Gogh painting his famous sunflowers,

Andy Warhol making his Marilyn Monroe pop art,

And a mysterious man making graffiti art at night.

I put on the mask of the future and I saw,

Flying cars like aeroplanes in our modern day,

Robots serving people at restaurants,

And people zooming at hundreds of miles an hour on hoverboards.
