Brave New Science

enabling us to see

into the future

remaking tomorrow

in the image of today

allowing all our wishes

to eventually come true

in the most modern of senses

cutting the chains

that have imprisoned us

to the treacherous past

liberating us from

the limitations of nature

rebellion against

the tyranny of all the Gods

futuristics and futurology

like some soothsayer's

formula for fate

systems and analysis

meta-physical and meta-magical

super technological

creating new worlds

upon the frontiers of time

destroying old worlds

in its cold wake

Buddha Babies: Seeking Reflections Along the Way

1989-90
