Genetic engineering’s here to stay <br />Possibilities are endless, scientists say: <br />Men mixed with anything we can find: <br />Oak trees, wasps, ants and elephants combined. <br />Satanic horror armies sweep their enemies away <br />And Frankenstein’s monster’s but child’s play <br />Compared with this lot. <br /> <br />Yet with Good intent, <br />And wisdom heaven sent, <br />Utopia or Paradise could be on its way: <br />Bumper bug-free harvests every day, <br />Giant fruit and docile, friendly beasts. <br />Food for all, and endless feasts. <br /> <br />All manner of <br />Good <br />Or Evil <br />Is within <br />Our grasp. <br /> <br />It’s down to us. <br /> <br /> <br />(W) and(C) 26\4\2008.<br /><br />Paul Butters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/frenetic-genetics/
