drawing conclusions

we add all powers and they make a small sum
there's not enough to hold the future back
we do not want to subtract from this lack

the engine that destroys now starts to hum
our world will shortly be upon the rack
we add all powers and they make a small sum

drown we cannot in whisky beer or rum
we will receive no honourific plaque
the end comes rapidly with swift attack
we add all powers and they make a small sum
