Copper:

"Though it was readily discernible long before the war

It was only publicly acknowledged after the war

That the copper mined, refined and shaped into wire

In the emergency

Did not unrefine itself

And return as ore into the mountain

After the war was over,

But remained in the dynamo winding

And in the high-voltage transmission lines,

To keep on delivering

Electrically converted water power

To distant places

To help humanity do its work,

To refrigerate the foods that used to perish

Before reaching the world's mouths

To regenerate life.

Man had simply rearranged the scenery

To support more humans

For more days of their lives,

Despite its being

Only negatively entered

In the ignorantly applied
