Big Science

A Poem by SkinlessFrank

I’m the guy

Who labors late into the night

To invent the “synthetic meat”.

 

You know, the kind that grows on

Petri dishes.

 

Big Science, you see

Has this quest

To replace the cow and pig

With cells that crawl around

Like grains of rice 

on agar.

 

Given the proper stimulus

We'll herd them

Like pink worms.

And train them to not fly apart

nor invade your liver.


Wash your hands please,

It smells "down there".

I like your variety of science meets poetry, it's pleasant and in this case, quite humorous!

I'm not really sure how I feel about this poem. It's a cynical write, but then, as is with reality, cynicism is usually tinged with a lot of truth.
This shows the negative sides to the world we live in today, which is fair enough.
What we humans do is grab whatever is nearest and bleed it dry.
Those scientists should mind the consequences.

I am not a fan of how scientists play God. But then, where should the line be drawn? Would my sister have made it past grade school without her small pox vaccine?
This is a thought provoking piece. You put a new twist on poetry.

Chilling...I enjoy chemistry but this is going to far...what is wrong with life the way it is? An excellent poem, so different from the usual ones.

Oh dear!

You seem to make something so brilliant out of the abnormal, huh? xD

I love this poem for its description and the ending made me burst out laughing.
It smells "down there."

I wonder what it is? Hmm...

chill through sterility the human species is cultivating for itself~ what a coiling world of dismembered vespers waft through your brain and out your nimble and creative fingertips~
