Gene editing a super race?

Temptations abound-

A son who is a genius

An athlete of renown.

Want to live forever?

Gene editing’s the way.

Even if it’s illegal,

Money will be in play.

But if CRISPR makes

A super race of humans

Will they simply seize

Power and control?

Create a super army?

Resisters heads will roll?

Or will we wisely use

Gene editing techniques

To cure those of us

Who suffer and are ill?

To eliminate previously

Incurable Genetic disease?

To make life Better still?

We’re facing new options:

Quite a conundrum indeed

Technology may soon

Remake the world again

Will it be for better

or will it be for worse?

Can it be a human blessing

Or an evolutionary curse ?

Who’ll make the choices?

What will our future be?

Will crispr rewrite the

Future of our world?

We’ll have to wait and see.
