An Ode To The Mob

 

My friend, my friend, please, allay;It was always going to be that way.One thing of which humans ought not be proud?Humans, humans, in a crowd.When Telsa with success almost brushed,He need to be quickly crushedHere’s a tiny little tiff:
Forget unlimited power from Wardenclyffe.Tesla was strange. Tesla was weird.Little mustache. Never a beard.Very weird. Let’s be realistic.Tesla was probably really autistic.Edison was a promoterAnd a bit of a steal-your-coat-erOf the two geniuses in questionEdison’s more worth arrestin’.The truth? You can’t handle.
Falsehood’s a bonfire, truth a birthday candle.There’s an Edison, New Jersey. That’s power.And then there’s an abandoned Tesla tower.Here are some hard truths
Please feel free to inspect them:
Who knows what delicate wonders are gone
For want of the strength to protect them?___(This is a restatement of Bruce Lee’s quote by Dr. Han, the antagonist in “Enter The Dragon”: “Who knows what delicate wonders have died out from the world…for want of the strength to protect them?”)
