CRISPR, CRISPR

On my mind.

How will you interact

With Humankind?

Will you make us smarter?

Will you make us stronger?

But the real enduring question:

Will you also make us wiser?

And will you make us closer

To the Creator of us all?

Or will you just enhance

Our Ego Selves and Brain?

And will you increase Empathy

Towards our fellow human beings

And the many other Species

With whom we share this Earth?

These questions are important

On our forward human journey

Can we enhance Wisdom,

Humility and Empathy

Beyond just Intelligence,

Beauty and Brawn?

And so my friends and colleagues

The Question for our Times

What world are we creating

With our CRISPR Edit‐Genes??
