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!

Thank you, Sir. May you live long and thrive, and enjoy a lucrative position on the Board for Controlled Ingenuity.
" for nothing but its own blind satisfaction"
bingo. who approved this message?
I, Dovina, have personally approved this message.
wonderful in all aspects of it
And you shall become Prince of Voided Bushes.
My dear Dovina- let me jump upon the "soapbox" with you. Woman after my own heart-
By all means, hop on the soapbox. By the way, please vote. 10 means you want me for President, 9 and below mean you're for those bums, Bush or Kerry.
Now Dovina, the Poemeranker will not be held hostile. We're going to have to conduct a crusade.
Do you mean hostage? Poemranker has always been hostile.
So true.
Can I be on your cabinet? I haven't tried politics yet.
Your support is all that's needed to gain you a lucrative post, perhaps on the Atomic Energy Commission.
