To build anything, my dear\u00a0friend,<\/p>\n
You must be clear what it is you want.<\/p>\n
A birth house to celebrate the arrival\u00a0of an infant,<\/p>\n
A way home to feed the hungry or protect the orphans,<\/p>\n
A temple to congregate and turn to the Heavens,<\/p>\n
A road to the stream, or a school with nuance,<\/p>\n
A fort of strength, palace of power, or tower of glory,<\/p>\n
A Taj Mahal for the love of your life with a story.<\/p>\n
A mausoleum for mother or father or people’s leader,<\/p>\n
Or a\u00a0pyramid as\u00a0a heavenly possessions’ feeder.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To build anything, my dear\u00a0friend,<\/p>\n
You must have a plan and blueprint.<\/p>\n
Building of life begins in a tender womb<\/p>\n
Before it reaches the final resting place of tomb.<\/p>\n
Proceeds to erect many a thing with room<\/p>\n
For individuality, originality and creativity vroom.<\/p>\n
But if you’d rather start from death and build A-tomb,<\/p>\n
Tomb with an A and A stands for Atom,<\/p>\n
Tomb for the Alive and for All future generations,<\/p>\n
What can I say with all my reservations?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To build A-tomb,\u00a0my crooked friend,<\/p>\n
Imitate\u00a0the\u00a0merchants of death and defend.<\/p>\n
Claim “the road to Doom is paved with good intentions”<\/p>\n
Superior science,\u00a0bombs, national pride and pretensions.<\/p>\n
Take tons and tons of public money<\/p>\n
And make sure there isn’t scrutiny any.<\/p>\n
Promise the Stars and everything under the sky<\/p>\n
Knowing well that you will hardly fly high.<\/p>\n
Bribe those who threaten with account checks<\/p>\n
And check the strong with untrue accounts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Say blatant lies but never speak a word of truth,<\/p>\n
Shower\u00a0non-truths, half-truths and nothing of worth.<\/p>\n
Never admit anything wrong, commits or omits,<\/p>\n
Remember “it’s all within the permissible limits”.<\/p>\n
Serve the State that keeps your secrets<\/p>\n
And the MNCs that seek more profits;<\/p>\n
And anyone else must face your wrath.<\/p>\n
Deny, defer, deceive with silent breath!<\/p>\n
Dialogue, Debate, Democracy \u2013 No, No!<\/p>\n
Dictate, Debase and Debar all you know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Institute a Department of New Clear Vision<\/p>\n
With the same old unclear bureaucratic mission.<\/p>\n
Think of yourself, your science and career;<\/p>\n
Never think of the people or show remorse.<\/p>\n
Surround them with emissions, effluents, radiations<\/p>\n
Of\u00a0energy glows and\u00a0development\u00a0radiance.<\/p>\n
Kill them slowly, softly and silently please,<\/p>\n
Entomb them with the Atoms for Peace!<\/p>\n
And ready is your haunting A-tomb<\/p>\n
Next to the “Atoms for War” catacomb.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
