“Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.”
- William Wordsworth

Why
***
O Thou, Man
Whose world spins so fast
Living up to catch up with it
It’s like a present now past
Whether your dreams are still dreams
Or thou cannot reach your aimed peak
Thou are blind,
For the Earth is to take body
But thy soul will ask:
“Was I made of stone and steel?
What do I feel?”
What is the World thou have built?

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
