A Fate Worse Than Death. Poem by Nabakishore Dash
A Fate Worse Than Death.
Next-gen weapons system
involves purported barain- contol weaponry
and super soldiers,
won't kill the enemies
like the traditional ones,
would cause dizziness,
paralysis in the brain,
a state analogous to
'From the frying pan
into the fire'.
Such weaponry is being
developed clandestinely,
dubbed as biotechnology,
that may possibly create
chimeric fighters
that run like cheetahs,
fly like falcons,
smell like bears,
see like eagles,
strong like gorillas,
intelligent as super-computers,
to be not used only in wars
but against dissenters and
protesters by authoritarian
regime's will and anger.
An objective, so sordid and foolish,
some people nourish
to debilitate and diminish,
to make the whole world
dance to their tunes and whims,
in stead of doing some
thing kindlier.
Such high level criminals
must be unequivocally deplored, their plans
strongly condemned, countered
as they pose horrific danger
for the humanity's future.
My late father used to say in our vernacular that dragging of a human by tiger is more painful than killing instantly.This is a similar condition where fate is worse than death.
Another brilliant poem well expressed and presented. Top Marks! ! ! !
A poem of great insight. I concur your comments on Lee Ann's comments. So very true even in legal parlance.
A brilliant depiction of a future enveloped by fear. Humanity's greed for power and material things propel them to act worse than demons. A scary future for our next generation.
A strong concoction of words....true....war is going to be more dangerous in future....top score
The future war will be more dangerous. Bio weapons will make people brain disabled and the developers should be punished. Nice write.

When AI meets weapons technology AI will eliminate their human developers.
True, but then that amounts to another war.
