Will humans line up, row by row,

Their rockets into ether throw,

That life and mind not perish though

The primal scream hangs on, "No! No!"

-- Kate Jones, 2019

Yearning for Immortality

For beliefs in myths, in wishful thinking's realm

-- That one assumà ¨d resurrection every death o'erwhelm --

We posit one omnipotence that hears the chosens' pleas

And orders them to kill all those who will not bend their knees.
