Wonderland III: The Watchmaker's Tale
Morning
Having sighed a great sigh
He perused all his tools
From the mainsprings and tweezers
To the wheels and the jewels.
He removed the large case latch
From the pocket watch cover
To survey all the insides
As he would any other.
He wasn't familiar

Every resource we can find
To make a better tomorrow
From passenger planes to fighter jets
Nuclear power to atomic bombs
From standard jeeps to giant tanks
To North Korea and Vietnam
From music players to sonic booms
Electricity to radiation
From medicines to poisons
To the opposite of creation
Inventions that cross between
Commodity and sheer destruction
Forest fires, napalm gas, and inhuman chemistry
