All Children Once

We were all children once

Apparently 

Even Vladimir Putin 

I know 

Hard to believe 

Some strange act of God

Or maybe a virus 

Intervened 

And in turn 

Laid waste to the modern world

Could be natural selection 

I suppose 

Nature’s harsh roll of the dice

Taking the long view

Towards renewal and rebirth 

You can’t stop it

I don’t think 

Maybe AI will pick out 

The wrong ones 

Before it’s too late

Would we, should we 

Anyway 

Play God to save ourselves 

From abnomalies 

When nature knows best
