Poem Title:
Poem
It was in the year 2040, in Vienna was where it all began, folks were looking at the Lance on Longinus, when they saw something they couldn’t understand, on the spearhead was dried blood, from a man. The faithful all proclaimed a miracle, but science wanted to study this in full. That, of course, caused lot son controversy, some feared testing would destroy what they found, and immigration had changed Europe, local Islamists were soon coming around, hating the implications of what was found, they went to the museum, tried to burn it, engulfed half of Vienna in a riot. Given the conflict the discovery brought, most realized it could not stay in this place, after much debate a decision was made, they would send it to the United States, in hopes that there the lance would be more safe, So science could find where the blood came from, and disprove the rumors, which they thought were dumb. So it was in Berkley, of all places, that the ancient spear would find a new home, there was all sorts of hub-bub when it arrived, the media had a frenzy of their own, the lab that got it soon became well known, and Doctor Tom Wiseman soon got to work, he doubted not the blood was of this Earth. After six months of examination they had isolated complete DNA, and Tom was working very late one night when to the janitor, Pete, he did say, “It’s strange, the furor won’t go away. We tell the believers it’s a normal stand, but they do not care, still this it’s their 'God-man.'” Pete just shrugged, said, “I suppose it makes sense, it wasn’t DNA that made Jesus Lord. it was supernatural, God’s presence, the made the man so worshipped and adored, a lot of people just seek something more.” Tom just looked at him and said, “Petey, my friend, I think you just helped me bring this to an end.” He said later, at a meeting of trustees, “I think we’ve an opportunity here, a chance to prove Jesus was just a man, free people from superstitions and fear. We can finally make the truth quite clear. I’ll make a clone with an artificial womb, accelerate the growth, so we’ll have it soon.” CONTINUES IN PART II.
