SCRAPS

SCRAPS

the spiritual ones
burnt the great libtary

came with their torches
under their god Emperor
a huge holy mob
blessed with the knowledge
of the splitting of
the atom

which art now lost
sadly forever never
again such
sublime
    destructive power

all that remains of that
great wisdom, great
human
      knowledge of
such apocalyptic potential

reduced to ash, molecules,
scraps
