Aloha poets,
Tropical setting inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!
Exorbitant Orbit
Tweak a few genes in case something goes wrong
Age Disorder Syndrome happens to come along
Teaching affiliate and other institutes poetic
Premature aging and genes just go at it
Cancer without tumors in trigger effect
Telomerase illumination goes break neck
Gene therapy for anti-agers as the tiger's milk
Alter genetics to slow the ages with all their ilk
Enzyme telomerase constructs small the DNA caps
To protect chromosome tips from fray and zaps
Telomeres rise center stage for a production
New cells clear for clean reproduction
Aging ills urge the brain cells to halt
Animation slows to a sense-of-smell fault
Human reproductive cells come to stand still
Normal aging seems to be nature's will
Caloric restriction makes aging slow
Sugar speeds folks to die on the go
Advertising joins fast food and such
Age related disorder grips time's clutch
Signs and symptoms show their wares
Environment impact wears and tears
Age degeneration a generational turn
Humans age in chemical and sun burn
Stimuli conspire through culture process
Chromosomes unravel as if a tangled mess
Drugs switch on genes in the name of health
Stimulate telomerase gene to a world of wealth
Telomerase is the enzyme to lengthen telomeres
Gene therapy as the wine to strengthen nears
In buzz and fray life's old secrets expose
Exorbitant orbit of new health woes
