Light In The Dark?

At last it was finished the world's biggest gun.
They had a big party, anticipating the fun,
It would smash bits together like never before.
Their last had been 'conflict' but this one was 'War'
It would conqueor the enemy, it would shine a new light
It was the ultimate weapon to aid in the fight.
But the locals were worried it might just explode
flatten their houses and ruin the road.
"Who are we fighting that we need guns like this?
could it open a door - into the abyss?"
"We fight against ignorance, we fight the unknown,
our theories are sound - you don't need to moan."
"You tell us we're in danger; the village might burn
we must stop having fires, yet you in your turn
plan to burn all our wood to make enough steam
to power your contraption and live out your dream!"
"You must sacrifice for science, you must bow to our god.
You can't understand, you're an ignorant clod
With our growing arsenal we will soon have the power
To laugh at you fools from our Ivory Tower.
Road blocks to progress that's all that you are,
you look at your feet while we look afar!"
"You might look afar but the problems are here
it's not the paths to progress but the pitfalls we fear,
We think that your foundations are rickety at best.
Can't you find different ways to put them to test?"
