WHITHER SCIENCE?

WHITHER SCIENCE?


Through science that is yet half-baked,
Earth has been by man forsaked.

In order to keep balance,
Science must have a social sense.

Man causes much pollution,
Which is without solution.

On burning oil he’s intent,
Thus spoiling environment.

He makes bombs designed to kill
Those who were made by His will.

Genetic engineering
May one day much havoc bring.

Trying to be immortal!
Oh, what a dream, you mortal!

Why earth’s not enough for you?
You want other planets, too!
