Petri Dish Bacterium Philosophy

As our civilisation reaches new heights We can be proud of our achievements As we enter a new golden age Survivors of the second penicillium war We harnessed our knowledge And struck out To all corners of our world Only to find none But confirmed our world was flat Encircled by a glass wall A dish Disproving the world sphere theory Despite the "globe worlder's" stubborn claims Is the sky bound by glass? Under the constant light Or is it open to the firmament? Can we fly to the heavens? Can we leave our world? Are there other dishes out there? Is there alien life on these alien worlds? Or are we alone in the universe? We are the chosen The dominant bacterial species Over the viruses, amoebas and prions Set apart and raised above Did we evolve from simpler forms? As our scholars say Or is there an all powerful designer? Who loves us all Were we made in his image? Are we part of his plan? Or is our culture just an experiment Performed by an race of beings Incomprehensible to us Indifferent to us But no-one really believes that Entry to "poetry in an animal's view" contest Written 29th January 2017
