From the
unseen to the perceptible
Life
expressions would be impossible
Strictly
from genes, living doth fully blossom
All that
follows coded from their bosom
Merely four
bases, infinities flourish
Graceful
alphabet, pairs justly cherished
Multiplicity
ever unbridled
Homogeneities
stay unheeded
From
beginnings simplex to highly complex
Genes direct
and guide life’s annex
Infinite
varieties, essences imprinted
On each creature,
uniquely created
Ingenuity
exemplified
Creativity
epitomized
Originality
personified
Progression
sanctified
Permanence certified
Replication ratified
Yes, all’s
in a package, all’s a mere bale
Thrown on
the laps of our destinies, nailed
For genes giveth
life, so too life they’d take
Just one
mutation and cancer awakes
Killing the
host and itself to forsake
It too must
live regardless of the stakes
Life,
ailments, defects or coveted health
Depend on
genes from birth till our death
Encoded
therein are myriads of traits
But are
choices, between love and hate
So deeply
embedded as to obviate
Transcendence,
to choose the paths we take?
Enter the
humans with eyes on the prize
For greed, they
tamper with Nature’s eyes
Little do they
know what lies well beyond
With myopia
‘n quick fix they respond
Seeking imagined
joys when none exist
Searching
far and wide for glories, we persist
From bell
curves to fruits, tinkering Nature
What ain’t
broke, fixing her to erasure
‘Tis wanton,
boundless greed what needs fixing
Morphing
hydra-like, all in its path yielding
Were love to
grow thus, pains ‘n suffering
Transformed into
peace, concord now reigning
Yet look hard
as we might, no greater wonders
Surpass
those within us should we ponder
Empathize
with mankind, whose joys now ours
Partaking of
the pleasures of giving
Unconditioned
by expecting their doling
Lest we refute
their own bliss in ceding
How many
codes do we need in this life
To
comprehend her secrets without strife
Rising in
wisdom where modesty is might
Submitting
to Nature accepting without fight
For harmony
to engulf our essence with light?
Fight your
own shadows, in life I’ll delight
We can never in our lifetime decode the secrets and wonders of the universe ~ Thanks for your sharing your reflections ~ Happy summer ~
ReplyDeleteThank you Grace. So many universes at our disposal.
DeleteI agree. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
ReplyDeleteGenetics--such a complicated mix we are. I had my DNA tested as part of a research project here and it's so fascinating to learn about.
