Genetic Modification

By Shane

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Out with the old, In with the new Just do whatever they tell you to do Replacing me with a newer you Forgetting justice, ignoring truth Defaced by cloning and changed DNA You are complete and god made you that way Existence monitored by chips in your head One step further and we’ll all be dead Modify nature as she’s not suffice Nuclear holocaust and mutation the price Losing all interest in the way things should be What you believe is just not right you see Granted an outcast ‘cos you tried to speak Prevention is futile, the future looks bleak You say you won’t be here, but your children will be Seeing the things that you won’t let them see Out with the new and old, in with the modified Ideas of rebellion, all thoughts vaporised Imprisoned for murder because of what you said In a world un-natural I’d rather be dead Written April 10th, 2002 © on Apr 10 2002 08:55 AM PST   10 • 0
