I Want a Time Machine

I Want a Time Machine

I want a time machine

To go back to the little me

Long, hot summer holidays

Running through endless corn mazes

Flying kites on the Caledon farm

Collecting beer bottles by the roadside 

Finding old Playboy magazines

No cell phones, just landlines

Back to the days of snail mail

Riding bicycles on county roads

My brother and I are cooking meals

Heading out and climbing trees

Wandering through quiet cemeteries

Days of skateboards and BMX bikes

To a time without responsibilities

No hectic days of social media

Chasing likes and comments

No posting shots, just shooting hoops

Walking my dog alone at night

A peaceful mind, no screen time

A time machine to fly away

From the madness of today

Long drives with rock and roll, cheap gas

Hanging out with friends by the lake

No distractions, just a simple life

Zsolt Zsemba

Zsolt Zsemba has worn many different hats. He has been an entrepreneur, and businessman for over 30 years. Living abroad has given him many amazing experiences in life and also sparked his imagination for writing. After moving to Canada from Hungary at the age of 10 and working in a family business for a large part of his life. The switch from manufacturing to writing came surprisingly easily for him. His passion for writing began at age 12, mostly writing poetry and short stories. In 1999, the chance came to write scripts. Zsolt took some time off from his family business to write in Jakarta Indonesia for MD Entertainment. Having written dozens of soap operas and made for TV movies, in 2003 Zsolt returned to the family business once more. In 2018, he had the chance to head back to Asia once again. He took on the challenge to be the COO for MD Pictures and get back into the entertainment business. The entertainment business opened up the desire to write once more and the words began to flow onto the pages again. He decided to rewrite a book he began years ago. Organ House was reborn and is a fiction suspense novel while Scars is a young adult drama focused on life’s challenges. After the first two books, his desire to write not only became more challenging but enjoyable as well. After having several books completed he was convinced to publish them for your enjoyment. Zsolt does not tend to stay in one specific genre but tends to lean towards strong female leads and horror. Though he also has a few human interest books, he tends to write about whatever brews in his brain for a while.
