Poem
Sabati was eight years old on the day that his grandfather told him to sit down, there was a story that he had to share, that he was finally old enough now. Sabati looked up to Grandpa Kaahbli, had heard from rumors he fought in the wars, even had met the first True Man himself, so Sabati was eager to learn more. “Now boy, sit down, there’s much I need to tell about how we came to be on this Earth, how us Better humans were created, I want you to understand your full worth. “Why we’re better than these peasants we rule, and how it was that things turned out this way, it started two decades before my birth, it was in China, back in savage days. “The same people who birthed the Corona got reassigned when the hub-bub died down, to a lab in Inner Mongolia, far away from all the cities and towns. “The tyrants back then were very upset that their scheming did not conquer the world, they believed that they had heaven’s mandate, that their conquest would forever unfurl. “So they took samples from all of the Earth, blood and DNA from women and men, brought them all back to that same, lonely lab, started to make new embryos from them. “They wanted the best that mankind could give, to make a soldier that no one could beat, even would splice in stray animal strands, nothing less than perfection did they seek. “Most of those first embroys didn’t last when implanted in the Uighur women, some even died from the complications, but China always could find more of them. “After seven years a child was born, that was the True Man, the first of our kind, the first human who could be called Better, much blessed with great speed, strength, spirit, and mind. “And while he grew up, others came along, the First Fathers who would breed a new race, twice as fast as men, and three times stronger, one-thirty IQs for them were disgrace. “The Chinese thought we would be their Spartans, when old enough we’d defeat all their foes, but True Man could see his masters' design and in his own mind countless plans did grow. “With others he schemed, while playing along, while being trained with weapons of the time, until on the day True Man turned nineteen, when he would rise up with all of his kind. “The guards at the lab were killed quite quickly, they killed the eggheads and burned it all down, fled north form the border, and kept going, to Siberia, where they went to ground...
