Alphabet Minuet

Mind over matter, I’ve heard it said,
Never will happen until we are dead,
Over the ages we seek magic power,
Proposing to build a new Babel tower,
Quick and predicted our subsequent fall,
Rapid and ruinous, down will come all,
Such are the wages of rampant ambition,
The dreams of us mortals in final collision.
