In short the fall of man from Grace
Involves confusing means with end:
Smug Science sits in God’s true place;
To Mammon lustful knees do bend.<\/p>\n

Because the West’s ideal is Play,
By our own toys we are enslaved;
Computers think for us today,
And yet through them we deem we’re saved.<\/p>\n

If we from Culture don’t erase
Invention for invention’s sake,
Or give again to God due praise,
We soon an end of Earth shall make.<\/p>\n
