Of your technological progress
O man, do not be so proud
And do not in its praise
Hysterically shout aloud.
You cannot swim like fish
And cannot fly like a bird
And even to walk on earth
You haven’t truly learned.
So over other creatures
Do not your superiority claim
But, if possible, hang your head
Justifiably in utter shame.
For you’ve achieved progress
At the cost of dangerous pollution
And created many a problem
Which seem to have no solution.
All the creatures dread
Your terrible sight
And ere you approach
Take a trembling flight.
Even the stars shake
At your sinister approach
And the wind disgusted
Howls its painful reproach.
You are the greatest monster
The earth has ever known
For the seeds of its annihilation
You’ve very cruelly sown.tc
