MAN THE SCIENTIST MAN THE FOOL

the mild conscious human mind

promises to improve and repent and amend


but the ripping rage that explodes out of every

inconvenience or open assault makes hash


of our vows and overturns all peace of mind

to make us wonder which one of these is really us...


and both are us...our common consciousness

thinks it can control its own destiny


rather than accept its place in the whole context

of being...you want to clone mammoths and being them back


to a system they died out of thousands of years ago

just because your hubris will brook  no interference?


what primitive nerve in yourself will you touch

when you've resurrected what you thought you've left behind?
