The Radiance of A Thousand Suns...
My mojo is off tonight (headache)
Ive been asked how i would finish the following poem:
"If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst into the sky..."
How the original one finished is irrelevant but whats important is how you would finish it.
Suggestions??

Ive only managed to come up with one, and im not too happy with it:
"If the radiance of a thousand suns
were to burst into the sky.
I would become death
while granting you life."

By the brightness that would ensue.

Yep, the original quote is:
"If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One... I am become Death, the Shatterer of Worlds.- The Bhagavad Gita"
It was also quoted at the conclusion of the Manhattan Project.
