The light that shattered the predawn darkness was greater than that of 500 suns.
Aim is perfect. Deeds, not words.
Cloud moves to open ocean,
precise nature.
Although no one said so outright.
It is a team capable of destroying any city in the world,
a firecracker compared to today's monster.
Exactly as expected.
By the year 2000 they believe man
will be extracting fuel from common rocks
and food from wheat stalks, roots
and plantlife that today is discarded as worthless.
coral dust, Russia,
mammoth, radio, butter,
paving on Tuesday.
