Neo-natal humankind

is ceaseless of enquiring mind.

With science and technology

the stopper’s out dynamically.

From fire to furnaced energy

from steam to electricity.

We modify genetically

and glean the stars effectively.

We can’t slow down

this gain in pace.

The fascination’s

well in place.

Much to learn,

with good intention,

drives this mother

of invention
