Part I

The world is better - synthetically speaking

Mediocre wholes we must dissect

The good, the bad, all ours for the taking

Assembling, dissembling, towards perfection

Rewriting, rewiring, renewing the future

The future is now behind us

Ideals and the imagination chase

After our work, our reality finally

We've changed the world, trumped our fate

What was once plastic, now organic-synthetic

Synthetic slaves, of all species and more

Have striked a utopic, sustainable balance

Humanity's extravagance and frailty, ingenuity

matched oil to oil, grain by grain,

ozone with ozone, an eye for an eye

What is beyond our control? If you consider

And what, which has value, is beyond our reach?

Part II

Are people better - synthetically speaking?

Mediocre selves we leave behind

Parts, interchangeable, nothing lacking

Ever evolving, surpassing perfection?

Rewriting, repairing, repeating the past

Have we put the past behind us?

Did our ideals and our dreams ever catch

Up to the truth of stark reality? But when

Has man left the world unchanged?

Fate. What was once malignant, now more resistant?

Resistance to change, in our ways and lives

Have perpetuated the old sinful balance

Humanity's belligerence and greed, incurability

Showed spill to spill, bomb by bomb,

One hole with more holes, an eye for an eye

What is within our control? If you consider

And what, which we value, is within our reach?
