A lyric

the Secret of Machines

We can pull and haul and push and lift and drive,
We can print and plough and weave and heat and light,
We can run and race and swim and fly and drive,
We can see and hear and count and read and write.
But remember please, the law by which we live,
We are not built to comprehend a lie.
We can neither love nor pity nor forgive –
if you make a slip in handling us, you die.

(Rudyard Kipling)
