A second attempt at "Give It 100!Open in new Window., since the first one ("100Open in new Window.) turned out pretty well even though I didn't complete it within 100 days.

30-Day Image Prompt.


Before you crack the seed case
ask yourself what you're trying to incubate.
Can science craft a better science
or is the ceiling too high to bother
birthing better scientists?
Lifeline or punchline?
Is the human still a human if it's
coming from a uterus or a pipeline?
You can't measure someone's age
by counting wires coming from their chest.
Is it worth it? Does the population need it?
I can name a hundred starving cities
in Africa, Asia, and America as proof
we're over capacity, but you say
it's best to pump 'em out,
give 'em room, let 'em grow,
and then they can figure out
everything else on their own.
You can't be serious.
You don't put that on a fetus.
Building bombs out of babies
wasn't the world's idea of existence
and the future's asking us for less of that intention;
turn your attention to preservation and direction.
Mass-production suffocates nurturing and compassion.
Umbilical USB cords tangle up functions
and confuse syntax with purpose.
No advanced civilization deserves this.
It's impossible to create a perfect baby or a womb.
Instead of play-pretending God
make yourself a better human.
