CSI

A poem from 2019


Houses built so tall that reach up to the clouds, the very heavens
Machines invented that fly around the world further and faster than birds
Rockets propel mankind to the moon, a giant leap
Telescopes watch the world begin in glorious pyrotechnicolour
In a fraction of a second, thoughts speed across the globe
Infinitesimal fragments of life’s DNA decoded and corrected
And so it could go on and on

But still no invention to stop crime
But still no invention to stop lying and cheating
But still no invention to stop greed
But still no invention to stop exploitation
But still no invention to stop hatred
But still no invention to stop bullying
And so it could go on and on
