The Wizard

A wizard?
A warlock?
He toiled on coils
An inventor of an appliance like mad science unseen,
Frightening lightning, (have you seen this scene?)
Genius dreaming up ideas like other great minds of the time,
Hanging out with Twain and arguing Einstein,
Harnessing energy for all of mankind,
And yet for decades his name was thrown into obscurity.

He was going to give the world free electricity,
But the powers that be
Just wouldn’t have it,
Marconi got it,
And Edison, just out of habit,
Stole from him,
Just like the government did,
In a whim,
And yet his demise was so grim.

But the truth always come to (arc) light,
It’s here and we know it,
Nikola was the real arcane brain
Power conductive
He showed it
Now we find it productive.
The Wizard Tesla deserves the respect,
Ahead of the time in retrospect,
His name will no longer remain a mystery,
Because history will be re-written
And that is his victory.

Have you seen that scene?
That’s just badassery.
