Might our ‘fear of the future’ be last ‘leg’ we stand on,
Does marginal intellect harbor our doom?
And is Science an asteroid, life’s new grim reaper
Or given by God to provide us more room?
Is there shame in the fact that all known life is star-based,
That dust man’s composed of the refuse of stars?
Does Mar’s magnetic death, or the heat death of Venus
Dissuade or more challenge us? Where are the bars
That imprison us here? What a metaphor! Phoenix!
We rise from star’s ashes to populate space?
If it’s true that few poets get honored as prophets,
What man has done better? The Riff Raff screams, “Mace! “
If what’s perfect, what’s good, is a gift from God’s heart then
Should Bible, should Science, be honored by man
When it’s sinners who seem to cast stones first, in judgment,
Who try to wipe God’s ass! Today, Trump’s their plan
To ingratiate selves, think ‘their actions’ earn merit!
Their God loves a cheater who sings songs of praise!
To avoid rent you owe put a fool in the saddle,
Intelligence bridles in multiple ways!
Some are wondering now if some ‘AI’ persuasion
Holds ‘Rainbow’ like ‘Truth’ that might act as a friend?
But with fools who write code to protect ‘Wealth’ not ‘Planet, ‘
There’s little doubt left now how story will end!
Man’s pièce de résistance – is likely extinction!
And not just by accident, I vote for greed!
As we ride toward the sunset as naked as jaybirds
Convinced it’s our progeny’s mouths that we feed!
