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
