Replying to a comment on:
Down With Ingenuity (Free verse) by Dovina
working against the common good
as much as for us,
itâs the worst of human traits.
Inventing vaccines one day,
nerve gas the next, ingenuity
works against us
for nothing but its own blind satisfaction.
To leave it uncurbed and unsocialized
is the worst of human oversight.
Everyone asks for freedomâ
the businessman free trade,
the woman free love,
the writer free press.
But none should be as ambitious as they can,
none should be as ingenious.
Bounds should be set on bringing
unguided change on the unready.
My name is Dovina.
Iâm running for president!
