Noon Fragment Alpha

Vast are the starry scapes
	of great galactic space

all forbidden now to Human Ken

For upon all Earth
Her Doing and her Dominion

from the alchemy of gunpowder
to the magic of ion rocketry

from terraformed Venus to Oort’s Fort

and everything in between
conjured by Man or his Creations
is fallen

The Edict.

One Day of Silence.
