Crushing out the heart of Genius strolling

Over lands vying, with his puny hands,

With forces of nature invention commands.

We should pause sometimes in our rapid flight,

Long enough to reflect on the dangers that might

Wreck our civilization; children would their lives destroy

Were they allowed to handle guns as a toy;

So with man in his audacious daring

Handling these forces recklessly, caring

Little for those who are smashed beneath their grinding,
