Notes About The Poem

Notes: This was based on a few things, that inspired this poem, one was a fertility doctor who was cloning himself, and another was a side note found on a very ancient manuscript, where was typed the following notation. (this is a rough translation)

"Shadowed chameleon

The nameless one whose mask came undone"

Silence Is Golden

Silence is Golden

In a laboratory in a far away place called
Lahore
Was a mad scientist, who experimented
Offshore

He fiddled and fuddles deep inside his lab
Making clones of his glorious self
Thinking they mighty fine lads
He cloned twenty or thirty or a hundred and more
All chattering and gabbing, their master they adore
Oh yes, he’s the mad scientist from Lahore

He has many accolades for he had many votes
He cloned so many, democracy was a joke
But the governor caught on
And saw through the clouds
Something was evil under the shroud
Banished he was to the prison of deception
Hopefully he will clone no more fake conceptions

Connie Marcum Wong June 14, 2017 at 8:02 AM There was a movie about cloning with Michael Keaton called Muliplicity, it was silly, but makes one realize that you can clone the body, but each mind will be different. Cool poem Arthur! : )

Paul Callus June 13, 2017 at 8:06 AM Goes to show that diversity is more important than cloning! Thumbs up for real democracy! // paul

Darren White June 11, 2017 at 12:36 AM Away with the clones and da drones, and compliments to Lin for the verse.

Reason A. Poteet June 9, 2017 at 3:20 PM Interesting read, Arthur, a great sci-fi piece, no female clones, all lads?? Mad scientist has to havve some level of limitation. A great read: My favorite line: "Banished he was to the prison of deception" - I can read a lot into that one line alone.

Jan Allison June 9, 2017 at 5:36 AM The first stanza is rather like a limerick in style and made me smile but reading further into the poem its quite scary to think that this could happen. I hope they never cloned me one poop poet is enough lol:-) hugs Jan xx
