MY DAILY POEM JAN 30, 2004

Science is an art of the possible;

an art that will enable a new human

evolution; an engineered evolution

that will divide humans into species

rather than black, white or brown.

Soon, we will have a thousand and one

human species to marvel and

terrorise us; humans with eagle eyes

and wings, some with gills, others

with legs that run like cheetahs,

some with chlorophyll-covered frames,

others with bodies that glow,

some with dolphin-size brains,

others with polar-bear fur

and bodies that can fight any disease.

Scientists dabbling in gene grafting

will change the whole human race

So that those remaining like us

will be discarded like an old radio!
