Everything and Nothing

Genetically Homo sapiens
are practically a monoculture,
though our division from
the great variety of creation
is by the smallest of differences.

This small variation grants us
mastery over all other species
which is why we know everything
and understand nothing
about what we don't know.

How we advance surprises me.
Human science is a prayer
to an unknown deity,
who in his infinity has no humility.

Monsters Inc

If in the next life the great
and good from now shared
with each other on art vs life,
from here who's conversation
would seem the most grotesque?

Andy Warhol vs Francis Bacon,
on who made the most creative use
of being mildly mentally diseased,
for massive profit in the Art Market?

Or Ayn Rand vs Edward Bernays
discussing which of them told
the biggest and most believable
lies through the 20th Century?

Other monsters will be available,
there will surely be more to come
who have not yet been born, 
but they will do for starters. 

If Scientists Must Torture Animals

let them practice on journalists,
politicians and royalty first.
Let those who seek the most power
seek to serve those with no voice,
who have no choice
when they are experimented on.
