Eugene Heasm



He's a man of convictions
He's a man of stubbornation.

Eugene Heasm dislikes a lot.

He has no pleasure with what differs,
He has no joy with colorful rainbows,
He can't stand the company
Of people from down the classes,
Kaleidoscopes give him headaches,
Too many kinds of music,
Always getting him in nauseas.

Eugene Heasm has likes a lot.

He enjoys whoever is his mirrored reflection,
He loves black and white surroundings,
Though he'd rather they're monochrome white.

He's a scientist
Also he rules his world
And he organized manipulations.
Minds, first, were modeled
To the one pattern he drew,
And so people were glad
To throw away their self-procreation desires
To replace it by the bleach-clean laboratories
And confident and proud, they became parents
Of a legion of tiny Eugenes.

Self blinded, Eugene Heasm
Didn't guess that several generations later
Of Eugene Heasm's quite clones,
The microcosm turned mad
Unable to keep being self-sufficient
Unable to fulfill it's needs
Too much disabled born youth.

Eugene Heasm's world
Was dying of selfishness,
Was rotting from consanguinity.

Wow! What an in depth piece of work! Too much self centerdness combined with too much control can ruin a good thing...there are so many layers to this...I read it at least 3 times, and kept finding more! Quite the portrait!

Indeed, Shannon, such kind of characters are very destructive.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mir,

I just watched a PBS special on stem cell research.

Of course, much of the debate was over religious
views of conception and also the concern for the
advancement of the cloning process.

I do know this more than one of any of us was not
intended for this world.

Take me for instance. If there was two of me, then
all of those people I aggravate would be aggravated
twice as much.

Anyway, love the poem and always the places your
words take me too. Thought provoking poetry.

thanks,
andy

Well, there it's less about cloning but about eugenism that's, imo, worst than cloning.
Cloning has saved some lives and will again, eugenism never did.

Thank you very much dear sweet friend.

Hello Mireille

I think our tinkering with Mother nature's ways has always and will always lead to monsters, most of them the people doing the tinkering, rather than what they produce. and I can't see me ever throwing away those self procreating desires, but that's just me!

A well crafted, thoughtful approach to this topic, which I enjoyed immensely.

Max

*Thank you very much Max.
Indeed, what we're doing (or trying to) to nature doesn't honor humankind.

Actually I'm glad I never had to meet such kind of person, I'm not sure I'd keep being a non-violent girl long, lol !

Thanks a lot, Paul.
