Sonnet: Perils of Eugenics
Let man not play with chromosomes and genes
Of living creatures – animals, man, trees;
The risks of interference danger means,
Producing awry, bizarre forms with ease!
The human genome and of beasts though clear,
The harmony within is still secret;
Research, man delves in seems to go too near
The heart of creation by God pre-set.
The successes in cloning and stem-cell,
Goad scientists try experiments foolish;
The accidents, mishaps do always tell –
Man pays a price dear for being selfish!
Eugenics has perils unraveled not;
Man dare not alter clay make-up of ‘pot’!
