Cloning History
Through invisible bars
Of his wide expansive space,
He searched far into the night sky
And settled upon a distant star,
Where the wounds she had administered
Did not resemble upheaval at all.
This bridge he had crossed
A time warp, a pathway through space
In chains of link-less shackles,
On the “SS Bounty Celest”
Stacked to the brim with earth’s forlorn,
Alas prisoners from a congested world
Where with no recognition of one’s culture
By its self-governed order without borders,
Into the melting pot one and all did fall.
Deep within this God forsaken galaxy
An outback far beyond,
Where the limit of sunlit days
Roll into moonless nights
And the hours are long.
Man, with his acute sense of superiority
Feels free to explore roam and contaminate,
And with the logic
Of digital and mechanical auxiliary,
Destroys in His name
All that had gone before.
