RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
The Gift
I shall make the perfect gift
To bestow upon this world
A human to replace us
Before it comes unfurled
A being that’s impervious
To the myriad problems we must face
Like climate change and nuclear war
Tempting the end of the human race
There will be no pandemics
To purge the weak and poor
With death itself in question
We’ll have no need for war
Still I wonder at the consequence
Of eliminating human flaws
Life without need or fear
A civilization without laws
Is this a gift or curse?
For the poet shall be lost
To save humans from themselves
Will come at a great cost
