We Do Not Own Nature

Of Nature's ways we will never be aware
If the World with her creatures we do not wish to share
We dispossess the birds and animals when we cut their trees down
To make more room for development on the outskirts of town
Despite the discovery of cloning and the advanced science of today
Extinction is forever and will remain that way
Human tampering with Nature is not a good thing
And the praises of such I for one cannot sing
Genetic modification of crops and the cloning of life forms should never take place
Human tampering with Nature is humanity's disgrace
Though many with what I say may well disagree
Leave Nature to Nature that's how it should be
We do not own Nature to her we belong
And if you feel differently you've got it wrong.

Sheepish Bo Peep Recombined

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
and cannot tell where to find them,
splice more DNA for cloning today
with no zoning law to unwind them...

Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)

They say they like it, but, now in the market it
May not go well as it's too laid back.
You need some oomph-papa, nothing like Frank Zappa
And not New Wave they don't play that crap
Try beating your head on a brick wall
Hard like a stone
Don't have time for the music
They want the blood from a clone
I hear a clock ticking
I feel the nit-picking
I almost quit kicking at the wall
There seems a confusion, under the illusion
That they know just what will suit you all
Beating my head on a brick wall
Hard like a stone
Ain't got time for the music
They want the blood from a clone
There is no sense to it
Pure pounds and pence to it
They're so intense too makes me amazed

Of the female black authors, I really like Morrison's early books a lot. But she's really become so much a clone of Faulkner. He did it better.

During this period, I became interested in how the new techniques of cloning and sequencing DNA could influence the study of genetics and I was an early and active proponent of the Human Genome Sequencing Project.

Man In The Mirror Shadows True Leadership

Displacement theory
an iron lady with iron balls
anything he can do she can do better
climb political ladder throw away
compassion integrity humility
become a hard astute ruthless man
a brutal arrogant man clone
dominating callous indifference
egos of self imposing importance.

We really need more such strong men not.
Where is wise nurturing feminine nature?
What is wrong with tender encouraging care
intuitive protection bestowed upon country?
Insightful discerning inspiring sensitive shrewd
illumination ability to see clearly intuitively;
true nature of complex situations human need.
A clear perception humane seems politically rare?
A matriarch endearing not schizophrenia clones.

Contact With Outer Space

How many surprises will the new millennium yield
On this earthly orbiting planet
Shall we really make contact with outer space
How shall we greet them face to face Would it be with derision and atom blast
Destruction of their outer planet caste??
Like kiddies watching open mouthed (Let's say)
Star Wars shown on T.V. today The cloning of Tessa the lamb shows us the way
Our creator wants us to go "Some Day"
Woman no longer reliant on a male mate
For the continuance reproduction of a child state "Cloning" females only - may be the best
Would it eradicate mans seed test
Outrageous - outcast - outsider shout
Will Adams curse never die out The holocaust victims "prayed" but none was saved
War weary men still fight and rave
Could twelve chosen maidens show the way
Brought up to rule all nations some day

The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.

Every book has some real life in it. I was never pursued by an evil twin clone, but everything else in MR. MURDER was pretty much out of my own life.

When I was I younger I didn't want to be gay. Not because I was scared of the sexual thing; I didn't want to be a clone. Now this was in the late '70s.

I do not know of any credible evidence that suggests Dr. Zavos can clone a human being. This seems to be yet another one of his claims to get publicity.

No novel is a clone of any preceding one, though with a background cast of characters and things that has grown to thousands, there are many familiar aspects.

Flesh & Bone

By: jimmy buffett
If men came from venus
And women came from mars
Then Id be lunching with my boyfriends
While you girls talked about cigars
But thats not how it happened
Evolution took a different turn
We may be creatures with some unique features
But weve still got a lot to learn
We made it nearly 20 centuries
But your monkeys with ph.d.s
Spun a web of communications
But its all still a tangle to me
I cant tell the spiders
From the dangling flies and moths
I feel like like some outsider
Who seems to have his wires all crossed
I cant fax you my love
I cant email my heart
I cant see your face in cyberspace

FM Radio

I am just a clones off-breed
Sick of the popularity tourniquet
Unlike how you feed
I am getting sick of it
I’m done with you
Your following anti-follower
Dive off a cliff
It's over
Broken at the bottom
Now you need the followers medication

I haven't seen Clones, which has been during this period when I haven't seen much of anything, but I did see Phantom Menace, and see my feelings about it - see, first of all, I think that when you make a lot of movies, your attitude about the movies changes.

Dr. Stein

Once they killed his monster when it went into a trap
now he's making better ones on a higher step
Bridge: On a warm summer day the doctor went away
to a place where he could make it real
his assistant's hips were nice
so he cloned her once or twice
now his hips are aching what a deal
Chorus: Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
lets them run into the night
they become
[1] great rock musicians
[2] great politicians
[3] a great possession
[4] a great oppression
Sometimes when he's feeling bored
he's calling it a day
he's got his computers and they do it their own way
Bridge: They mix some DNA, some skina and a certain spray
you can watch it on a laser screen
and the fellow's blue and grey

Ruthless Military Invasions In An Age Of Empires

one particularly sad aspect
of ruthless military invasions
in an age of expansion empires

is the concept of race superiority
recurring arrogant master race theory
repeating since ancient civilizations

the nationalism of race superiority
blind allegiance to dictator leaders
moron clone mind syndrome soldiers

justifies invasion exploitations
of innocent civilian populations
first sell hoax invasion pretexts

moron clone mind syndrome ensures
citizens ranting support our brave soldiers
their bombing killing tortures rapes?

My Clone

Seldom people like the setting- sun
But people like the sun which is rising…

My sun is in the west
And I feel lonely …

No rain, no wind
In my life..

No rainbow, barren
And suffering from drought

So I ordered a clone
Of myself, to kill my loneliness
and he is cent percent like me
he is all of my attitudes too

I got him
A very lovely one
Every one loves him

Popscene

A FERVORED IMAGE OF ANOTHER WORLD
IS NOTHING IN PARICULAR NOW
AND IMITATION COMES NATURALLY
BUT I NEVER REALLY STOP TO THINK HOW
AND EVERYONEIS A CLEVER CLONE
A CHROME COVERED CLONE AMI
SO IN THE ABSENCE OF A WAY OF LIFE
JUST REPEAT THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

[CHORUS]
HEY HEY COME OUT TONIGHT
HEY HEY COME OUT TONIGHT
POPSCENE
ALRIGHT

I'M LEAVING TOWN TO RUN AWAY
RUN INTO YOUR TWISTED ARMS
NO QUEUES AND THERE'S NO PANIC THERE
JUST DANGLING MY FEET IN THE GRASS
MY LACK OF NATURAL LUSTRE NOW

Mary had a Little Vamp and Other Parodies after Sarah Josepha HALE

Mary had a little vamp,
whose teeth glowed white as snow,
each night from sightly vent – no cramp -
the crimson droplets flow.

Some followed her from school one day;
though stalking's 'gainst the rules;
it made goose pimples grow and stay
to see them play at ghouls.

But they were caught, their tale remains
from history well hid,
though we discovered their remains
beneath oak coffin lid.

And so blood flowed from inside out,
none dared to lingered near
when shadows shiver, hang about
until Vamps disappear.
