Safely Rewrite Your Own DNA

Safely Rewrite Your Own DNA

A Poem by Brett Hernan




There is no amount
of inherited
genetic predisposition
to certain
behavioral patterns
which cannot
be altered
other than
through
the act
of
thought.

This,
intrinsically
must be,
an ongoing
conscious
cognitive
surveillance
of one's
own
behavioral response
to both,
self-sourced,
'ideas that
just

come
to me!'
and to all other
external stimuli
triggering
the unwanted
behavioral response.

Apart from this,
there's only surgery...

The addition
of small chunks
of donor
(corpse)
bone
onto
various
parts
of the skull
to propagate
and continually grow
one's own antlers.

Honestly,
can you predict
any other future
for human beings?

That is, those
who have been allowed,
(for some
usually,
ulterior
motive),
access to:
nutrition,
sanitation,
clean water,
medical treatment,
education,
employment
and peace.

But...
that's an
old story,
now.
