    300,000°

     
    With this child
    With this man
    I have made the world anew

    I will lay waste to civilization

    Indiscriminate
    No compassion
    Men, women, children
    See the light
    Fade to memory

    In the wake of my creation

    Beneath the Manhattan Skyline
    I have become death
    The destroyer of worlds

    The cold tone of this really does evoke emotion. Such a view on the power to end lives is almost sickening. You really got me going. Good Work.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
