Deleterious

I've lost my train of thought again.
Even if on trial, I tend to derail. 
Even on track with Maglev intact. 
I broke out in front long past bullet speed.
A bat out of hell, quick time villainy.
I recount losing that thought so quickly,
faster than Berry Allen feet velocities.
Cannot catch what's too fast to see.

Some people obviously say, "we are 
only humans, that we are helpless to 
our biologic afflictions." 
Some would go as far to say, "All that
makes you unique, another would 
attribute it to a genetic mutation.",
"Our own condition itself is human, 
and we are victim to the will of nature."

A precious filtration system weed
out and decides what is best for 
the preservation of a species. A
delicate process that isn't fool proof, 
falling prone to error. Allowing zealots and
charlatans to artificially inseminate this process.
Removing naturality from the environment.
Entirely re-designing and gene splicing.

Easy baking babies made with test 
tube gravy. Modifying the gene-pool
prioritizing Human logrolling, 
steamrolling dormant efforts
in favor of biological engineering.
That shouldn't concern the terrain
originate. The soul of a future humanity
is part of the plans of Highest High.

What a sight to see, imagine the view 
from the zenith peak? I'd tweak, my electrons
would be firing so fast the high multitudes 
increase. The speed would like some ecstasy.
ecstatic till the static no different
from the TV screen. It gets hard to decern 
when CERN keeps hadron colliding all of 
our memories, effective immediate collectivity.
