Day N Age

When I was a kid, Watson and Crick’s discovery of DNA Was still a bit like science fiction and not completely understood Dreams of curing cancer, never growing old, viral vaccinations Mapping out the human genome would make them proud of us Splicing genes with CRISPR Cas9 Vectors Is still only just the beginning, We’ve barely touched the tip of the iceberg Still, one day, like in the Star Trek universe With a simple shot from hypo spray No more COVID and Dr. Flox would send us on our way But life is not TV land I suppose God must have other plans Perhaps He’s not so pleased that Science is the new religion of this Day N Age He’s really going to be surprised when we scrape the shroud of Turin For some Jesus DNA And clone the Son of God so we can look him in the eyes And pray tell we may say, “What the hell have we done, oh Spliceosome?”
