Contemporal Mission Field


Flor-i-en-sis!
Simple minds it seems.
Hobbits.

"Hurry - send us!"
To our time machines!
Hop it!

Ne-and-er-thals!
We can reach them now!
So new.

"Me and four pals"
We can teach them, how...
It's true.

Sap-i-ens, wow!
Since the birth of Man.
Billions.

"Strap me in now!"
Use these workers' hands.
Pray on.

Watch power, brief checks;
How long 'til impact?
Twenty.

Watchtower, leaflets,
Bibles, books and tracts.
Plenty.
