HUBRIS

Our heads have grown so big that we

want to one-up nature by climbing

into the creator/evolution’s seat

ourselves.  Half human/half robot?

Adding letters to our DNA?

Our  scarlet petticoat is showing,

discounting  and gambling our precious

humanity and creativity, our  struggle

to  actualize our love, and nurture that

with which we were uniquely born.

Oh power-hungry one in the lab, it

is our lives and our grandchildren’s

that you want to gamble with!  Nurture

nature!  Surely there are sufficient

challenges in  our own back yard.  Crossed

fingers may not work for you, taking all

that we hold dear with you.
