Bootstrapless

You know what? Humans can’t
Fix humans. Can’t be done.
No ideology,

No divinity can
Offer the leverage.
There’s nowhere you can stand

An Archimedes, no
Lever you can extend
To Mars to have a chance.

Circumstances will shift
For better, worse, better.
New tech will continue

To disrupt while it’s new.
You could let slip havoc,
More havoc, rewriting

Your own genomes. Chaos
Could ensue. But you can’t
Fix humans as humans.
