To clone or not to clone that is the question

The word that springs to mind in all of this

is arrogance

its science born again

its a rashness and a glance

back into the history

and forward into where

the vision of more profit

stems from being less aware

what stems really from economics

and profit sadly sees

the animals in question

fish or cows or Bee’s

subjected to such unnaturalness

their sacrifice is lost

it isn’t about interaction

its really just of cost

the triple bottom line syndrome

is called into question here

if its just about the financial aspects

possibly its clear

but emotionally it really smacks

at manipulation and

genetics and the science

which was never really planned

from fish to sheep to pigs

the saga has taken some turns

everyone is at it

for me there are concerns

the terms they use

degrades the source

propagation grows

more meaningful to farmers

who now are in the froes

of trying to stay solvent

when the corporate machine

is cutting great lumps out of them

I mean its quite obscene

the farmers they are mortgaged to the hilt

and a bit more

so rapidly adopt the corporate stance

or hit the floor

there are no two words about this

thats the beguiling fact

the hastening of the life force

and how do we react

what of those cloned animals

and their offspring

how will they

fare in the new kingdom

what will it bring

and, to those consumers

of the flesh and milk how will

they react to this abomination

will they still

sup the teat and chew the meat

and pay the extra price

or will more hasten down the road

of none of that is nice

science if thats what its called

is too rash in my  view

incautiousness and unwariness

its reckless now to do

its arrogance and ignorance

and those words delve so far

into the common psyche

and likely they will scar

there seems a great impatience

an impetuosity

a dangerous game of brinkmanship

ignoring what I see

the obvious is often

overlooked and we

The emperors new clothes

forgotten seemingly

The European Commission

has studied this a while

The Uk Government hasn’t

and wants to make a pile

a pile of what I ask them

money in their bank

possibly but at what cost

really to be frank

the animals are disregarded

their passion and their pain

their rights to what was naturalness

its all gone down the drain

as to the consumer again

no thought at all

its all about the producer

the corporate walk tall

from tadpole through to pigs

the record of the cloning tribe

what of the surrogate mothers

and the ofspring

they imbibe

the obvious

relationships

but as now

there are none

its all about manipulation

when all is said and done

its all about genetics

its all about the way

of pushing up the margins

for every judgement day

thats coming oh its coming

this cloning paradise

has seen its dead and dying

and the pictures were not nice

but the victims are the animals

the voiceless to be sure

they are really vectors

and truly nothing more

herds of living test tubes

who happen to be alive

but can be slaughtered easily

they don’t have to survive

its an abuse of life itself

its science that is mad

for its corporate ideology

and that is why its sad

its only perceived riches

and corporate control

its nothing whatsoever to do

with common soul

Cloning is a miasma

its a step into the night

its an evil preoccupation

and it is far from right

no one knows the outcome

not in this day and age

the experiment is arrogant

the words leap off the page

we must object for their sake

the children coming through

we must object for oursakes

for what are we to do

allow the goons in downing street

to manipulate us all

in the name of science

are our backs against the wall

are they do we want to

go down this road we can fight

we can say no its on mate

it is never right

its deviating wildly from

what we cam e to know

and the consequences could

be so bad so sad as we know
