Thoughts seem true gifts at first, but then,
are found but fraught with warlike men
who will storm the town, start the fire,
and give no ruth to the mother
feeling the ordnance on her back
as forces thrust and forces sack.
Few dare at all to be bothered
to see how nature is smothered,
in smoke and grease of the excess
More is the plan, who will choose less?
Haste the command, who will have mind
to mend Nature; be left behind?
Civilization let and lost
who will restore morals and trust?
For more of thought and expertise
we were divine, now beasts of these.
No longer will I think, I'll guess-
at least I'll make a safer mess.
