Could you imagine a dark stormy night,

Sparks flying in windows of a workshop

Mechanics hard at work, obscured by light.

They work for science, they work for pursuit.

Neither fame nor fortune, in minds, at top.

They work for progression, so the points moot.

At last thy emerge from their lonely shops,

The science completed, the world grows wise

For they released monstrosities; guns pop

Into the air that is filling with flies.

Could we have stopped them? Or would they have won?

Would we have been better, for without them

Lives would be saved, technology gone.

Another comes along, doing the same.
