AThat Gone Has Gone, It Is Up To Us Not To Misuse It

That gone has gone,

A simple enough statement

But one that must not be forgotten.

It is the people living today that matter.

They will shape our world

They will use those inventions

Tempered by the gallant.

 

Bell, Edison, Whittle, Fleming, what do their inventions matter?

Since Jones, Smith and Calver will misuse them.

It is the people living today that matter

It is how they use these inventions,

Whether they take a simple invention

And turn it into complexities

Or further mankind.

 

It is the people living today that matter

They will shape our world

They will use those inventions

Tempered by the gallant.
