Time
was such
they didn’t know
the wars to come
and how one empire
lead to the next
so a clock was made
to mark the place
where it began
and we
remember.

A most interesting and profound piece! I did a Wikipedia check on the year 1897 and there were numerous happenings. Is there a special reason why you chose the year 1897? Your poem made me think – love it!
