DISCOVERY

[Emile Johansen]

The human being ::
the most technologically advanced species in the entire Universe
- without a planet.

Homo sapiens sapiens ::
the most scientific-minded species in the entire Universe
- without a planet.

The human species ::
like so many mosquitoes in a bottle
- apparently.

These terribly rational people ::
like so many frogs in water slowly brought to the boil
- so I am told.

These pragmatic beings ::
like so many statues on an island - falling over.
Or were they pushed?

[Clifford John Vodden]

nice poem, I think the reference to the frogs is very apt-

cliff.
