Search for the Ghost of Antonin

A few more days

To tolerate the stink emanating

From Goebbels’ progenies

All the righteous hot air

Pervading the air waves

Will hopefully fall silent

Whether the grey old people

Doing their politically correct dance

Gingerly sidestepping the real reason

For throwing their support

Behind the self aggrandizing trumpeter

Blowing hot and cold

The key to the holy grail

Is the prize for which

They will sell their souls

Even to the one they say they despise

Vacant SCOTUS seat must be filled

But only by one of their own

Constitution and democratic principles be damned

The litmus test must be passed

The womb tightly controlled

The rotting bones of the

Black robed regal pompous

Erudite constitutional scholar jurist

Must be rising from his grave

Gleefully casting his ghostly shadows

On the ninth vacant seat

A few more days, handful of hours

Will sanity prevail when

People have their say, and

Search for the ghost of Antonin

Hopefully will come to an end

Science Unleashed

Tigons  and Ligers
Embryos in petri dish
Test tube babies
Life cloned
Dolly the sheep 
Fear the world
With thousands of
Hitlers, Stalins
Maos or Trumps
Science progresses
By leaps and bounds
Human Organs grown in animals
Or animal organs in humans
Are we creating
New species 
Humals or Animans
Organ harvesting
To reward the rich
For their extravagant excesses
Or a cure for all 
Billions of poor will
Silently suffer
Science unleashed
Research for benefitting masses 
Or seeking the holy grail of
Eternal youth and
Elixir of life for the rich

This poem is the result of thought process of hearing a discussion on National Public Radio on my way to office yesterday. I do not know the title of the topic of discussion as I heard it somewhere in the middle and did not hear the ending as I reached office before discussion was over.  The topic related to growing human organs in animals and harvesting those organs for treating incurable diseases requiring organ transplant.  As far as I can understand, it involved stem cell research and DNA and is supported by NIH.
