two sides of the coin
We could cure all man's diseases,
but we couldn`t cure humanities sickness.
So I`ll bring back history's greatest minds,
to rescue ourselves from these dark, dark days
the gloominess caused by the mistrust of today.
As life crumbled, it was surrounded by the worlds decay,
Conflict: male vs female;
a war between the sexes, a hatred without an end.
The seeds of this war were sown before I was born,
voices cried out until they were heard.
The narrative spun in cirulative motion
as the propaganda machine rolled on,
and now the human spirit just drags along.
Extinction would be tomorrow fate
so we had to grow new life.
It was a race to survive; one we had to win.
Artificial womb babies gave us that new life
...and gave us that win.
Now we must save humanity from itself.
We have solved one problem,
but we are still on the road to destruction.
To change this path we are on,
I`ll need to bring back the world's greatest minds.
First I`ll need to stand in the footsteps of giants.
Take knowledge from all their science
and build from their foundations.
I know some will say " it may just improve this damning life; you could be our saviour."
But others will say "don`t do it, it goes against the laws of nature. Leave the past in the past."
Time is ticking and the hourglass sands are quickly running out.
The future must be saved.
We have no time to waste, not one more day.
But I question myself.
I am God, and have I arisen,
or...am I just a mere moral?
Is it creating,
or...is it destroying?
Will I cross a line?
There are some mysteries in the past we may never know,
but also. there are some lessons to be learnt from inside history pages.
A man once said, 'one giant step for mankind.'
but...is this a big leap and jump,
or...a step closer to the fire?
Will my actions benefit man,
or...will I cause his downfall?
In the end.
Will I be praised for being the redeemer of man,
be proud of my achievement.
Or will I shake my head as I say
"What have I done!"
