The Beginning of the End

It all started with Enlightenment scholars

When they tried to fix stupid, and it will end

With unfixed stupid wielding the mirrors

Of the Enlightenment.  Once Professor 

Einstein called civilization an axe

In the hands of a psychopath.  That guy

Was an Einstein about more than the shape

Of time, he knew the Adam in the atom.

Now people get so excited about technology

When it comes in the form of spaceships

And devices to unlock the mysteries

Of our souls, that when wars begin they

Run to see just how lethal smart can be.

Thus, the original target gets enlightened!
