Ability Vs Right

With knowledge some seek to feed,
the veracious appetite of man.
We create things we do not need,
feeding egos and because we can.

In frozen storage men we place,
for revival at some future date.
For new technology man does race,
before his time's grown late.

Does ability alone make it right,
With God, is this an abomination?
Have we forgotten that he gave light,
that he's in charge of creation?

From first a tomato, bio grown,
then next a sheep named Dolly.
Now man, we have desire to clone,
surely God won't allow this folly.

If God allows man to be cloned,
would we find within a soul?
God above is not dethroned,
he alone can make man whole.

The very fact man seeks to clone,
tells me we've strayed off track.
Leave reproduction, to God, alone,
in knowledge he has no lack.
