HUMAN INOVENTION
It started with a question???
An idle musing, a hunch,
An ignited spark, a flamING....
A flicker-flash! A blank page
Submitting to the intrusion of a dot .
A slash---, a curve{), a thin straight line_______.
Written discourse- information stored,
Building generation
after generation,
With sweeping swiftness-
Filling volume
After volume,
ideas
honed from the mind.
Thought and imagination gone wild!
Faster and faster!
Like an airplane!
What will be the ultimate scenario
To this spasmodic gushing of knowledge?
Science- logic- mathematics- technology,
Building and escalating upon itself.
Seemingly magical mobile machines:
Speeding- spinning- crashing-Maiming-Killing- polluting!
Motion pictures- V.C.Rs- virtual reality!
The miraculous micro-chip, Fax machines,
Massive piles of information,
Nuclear piles of radiation,
Nuclear fusion bombs!
Ecological devastation!
When will it stop? How will it end?
