Since the dawn and day of creation,
We have watched man's progress slow and steady; We applaud and utilize each invention, And take advantage of any new offering as ready.
Through scientific research and experiment, He has improved and multiplied the earth's yield, His efforts have superseded the Creator's intent, Has altered and improved every natural field.
Of disease and plagues, he is the master, Speech and music, he has recorded on discs, Than sound and light he travels faster, Explored the moon with its multiple risks.
Flies through the air with the greatest of ease, Music and pictures, broadcasts with no wires, From all earthly functions, he will soon cease, As from all operations and manipulations he retires.
The greatest transgressor in this dubious trend, And the one which gives birth to these fears, That man's habitation on this earth will end, Populated solely by Computers, with their dials and gears.
Thus, when to the full extent our imaginations stretch, And visualize a world, machined only by things insensible, Making of our minds a worthless wretch, And our fears for the future quite reprehensible.
