When Man Plays God

When Man Plays God

Let’s talk about something new.
You have heard of the common flu.
But, have you heard of flu from hell?
Made in a lab by—–I won’t tell.

Stephen King’s “The Stand” is here.
There is much for us to fear.
It will spread like wild fire.
Destroying all. I’m not a liar

It could be released at any time.
Rapidly killing what’s yours & mine.
One percent may be immune.
If you’re lucky, or on the moon.

It won’t be a pleasant way to go.
It will be fast, at least. Not slow.
Very painful, to say the least.
No protection from ‘the beast.’

Is this what the world is coming to?
I would take action, if I were you.
Do all you can to prevent such a thing.
Make people aware of what it can bring.

Don’t let man destroy himself.
By an act of stupidity. What else?
When man plays God the result is bad.
The end result is always sad.

It’s true. Pride goes before a fall.
Man is the proudest race of all.
But, there is limits to what man can do.
The end result will be the end of you.
