Familial Ties

genes swapped stirred by unbounded love family is born bound by filial bonds maternal and paternal relations emerge love, caring, support joy and sorrow shared alike life's music composed echoing through ages increasing genetic pool Malthus' theory you, me, and Genghis bound by familial ties family tree thrives culture, colors, race babble, blather, and blubber siblings world-over ~ 04 May 2016 ~

Greater combinations and permutations have occured in the churn of the gene pools over the centuries than we can ever imagine. Couldn't resist adding Genghis in the poem as some studies indicate that around 160 million people could be sharing his genes (2003 study). Thank you, Brian, for the appreciation. ~ kc ~

this is really sweet and how it shows the way it spreads all over the world. The last one so cute!

Thank you for your appreciation, Andrea. We all have come a long way from Adam and Eve, I guess.
