CYBER $ELLS: Dilemmas of Science Devoid of Morality

	If science goes far enuff
	what Frankensteins will we kreate?

	As we manipulate DNA & master cybernetics
	what inventions will take place?

	Is the power to create life
	appropriate fer human beans?
	
	Will we ever realize
	restraint is the highest virtue
	&
	long-term eko-diversity
	is moor important dan short-term greed?

	Not all possibilities
	should cum into existence

	Not all discoveries
	foster well-being


Gus:    Not only that, but also quack, quack, quack!

Nadya:  Are you trying to say anything?

Gus:    Yes, gim'me a moment ta get dah goose out ah me . . .
        quack, quack (pausing briefly) ahhh, dere we are!

Nadya:  (impatiently) . . . and yer point is?

Gus:    Unfortunately, not all poets write eloquently.
