    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.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
