IMPRISON

 

Ah yes! Be proud

Superman of the atomic age

Be proud! You're the victor...

You're the master. For shame! Such work...

You've imprisoned Fire

And tamed Electricity!

Imprisoned Water!

Imprisoned speech and music

In the cage of the Radio.

Imprisoned shadow and color

Behind the glass of the Television.

Imprisoned numbers

In the case of the Computer.

Imprisoned enlightenment

Behind walls of libraries.

Planted your banner on the Moon.

And your opponent in jail.

And put God in your pocket.

Yes then you are a superman

Be proud!

While you may...

 

3/2/1971.
