Mammoth

There is just too much possible

Human capacity

Shrouded in secrecy

Sealed in mendacity

Boxed away, locked

In a crate

Where it waits

To reveal itself to

Unsuspecting primates

Unprepared to see through

Panicking panoramas

Of primitive man

In his going bananas

Default modern setting

Upon the discoveries

Later regretting

Forgetting mistakes

Of the past

As we make

A genetically-engineered future

At stake

Is the current world order's

Next failed

Nation state

And the fate of a species

Contingent on how

We all lose track of time

Living here

In the now
