And I Am the Result

Nature did not understand me, When it produced me, But I am understood by nature,   By life’s processes and behaviours, Thoroughly admired and integrated, Almost ingratiated, Unable to complain or dig, Standing amazed at the plate. That I evolved, I know, Sure as a goldfish of his water: My ancestor’s genes were modified and changed, Through everyday behaviour and focus, By partners’ characteristics and traits, In the determination to get through and win, By the physical touch relationship of sex. No problem at all, that’s fine for me, That massive statement of gene makeup, Those free interactions which take effect, In the enormous chain of descendants, Through that family ancestry tree, It made me, And even more, it does not determine me everyday, Because I’m free to choose my own rack, Friendships, partners, jobs and interests, And I can see that evolution is fair.
