There was a time, once,
when man had reason to fear
like the daemons of nature,
winged dragons,
the fairies, the elves of the forest
and all the other eccentric creatures
who jumped about
untamed and lively in its/his darkness.
At that time
he didn’t think himself
invincible and dominant over the world,
he didn’t intentionally wound Nature
because he had something to fear.
Until man
passed fatefully into the era
of impious omnipotence
when the moron believed
that technology
and his beloved machines
shall become
an umbrella
for heavy metal rain
a rescue boat
for nuclear floods
a helmet
for radiation
from a hole
that gapes in the sky
and singes
his brains.
