How to make a nuclear bomb
Assemble your thoughts and assemble a team,
Accumulate ergs and accumulate dreams,
Focus your mind with the power of thought,
Burnish your intellect until you have wrought
A plasma so dense, so implausibly hot
That it makes atoms boil and fizz in the pot.
Now remember that God gave you freedom of choice
So throw down your bomb and prepare to rejoice.
Don’t puff out your chest, but admit to your fraud,
And don’t ever seek to call yourself Lord.
(written in the style of a slam poet)
