Creating Life

Justin Germino
He is the warden of this tower
Creator of life who craves power
A master of art and science
Caring not for what it represents

What could be a scientific paradigm shift
He sets to create a most unholy gift
An obsequious servant carries out his orders
Blessed with a morality with no known borders

What turns out is an astonishing creation
That some would call an act of mutilation
Stitched together flesh and bone
Lying cold on a slab of stone

There would be no sun shining this day
For this creation, the doctor had found a way
A dark storm had clouded the sky
This storm had a purpose and he knew why

A patridge flutters through the tower window
A lighting bolt crashes down from limbo
Electricity funneled to the mangled corpse
Writhing from the shock, its body warps

Desperation sets in as the doctor opens his mouth
At first a whisper followed by shouts and screams
A failure this experiment it seems
Creating life is only in ones dreams
