Earthlings turning marvellous

Wonder
how earthlings would
thrive
in days
to come…

no worries,
just talking
about our descendants distant…

humans,
humanoids
considered
as earthlings
different
from other
species
in different
habitats,
even those,
spatial
aliens…

Now we reach
an age
of outcomputing
human brain
with AI,
Bio Chemical Engineering…
with
Bio labs, Gene Editing,
AI splintering
the earthling consciousness,
age not far
for humans mutating into 
a species multiplanetary,
fostering
a cult 
interplanetary..
with this

Earth, fast
depleting,
Ecology
topsy turvy…
Hei !
Buck up!
man ever
resilient
to outlive! 
history
speaks…
ha ha!
a sure
case of
earthlings’
potential
future!
if human brains 
propel
and harness
knowledge
in fine sensible
sustainable alignments
new frontiers
can open up!
new tools,
for beauty, art
poetry, music!

hah!
shed away
fears and
negative bias!
Let us be
tolerant
to change!

Timelines

time lines
fade away
in sunken
shores…
aches
predicated
on
must have
beens’
flash in,
and out…
the sane,
conscious. self,
strives to
trash it
on to
cobwebs of
memory…
how long
can it
go on,
this
exorcising
game?
in the
thickness
of losing let us not
lose   
ourselves..
