A Child of Light (The Wizard Part 2)
January, 1943
The maid walked in and discovered his body
She may have been unaware of how important he was
Because at that time
His name had been thrown into obscurity
The forgotten genius
Died alone and broke
And his story
Still breaks my heart
We are where we are today
Because of who he was and what he did back then
His imagination
His brilliance was so ahead of his time
People must’ve thought he was crazy
He was a child a light
Lit up the world with his ideas
(Literally)
Foresaw his designs being applied
A hundred years into the future
Talk about enlightened
He wanted to give the world a gift
But as you know
The greed of the many got in the way
Tesla harnessed a power like no other
In his mind he saw what the man could accomplish
So many possibilities
So many opportunities
Some thought he was a wizard
Others said he had bad luck
But the truth was Nikola didn’t care much about money
He believed in science
For the improvement of humanity
