Baked

It’s
all baked,
baked
into the
equation.
Human 
civilization 
genetically 
organized.
Organized as
prescribed in
DNA.
DNA code.
The code that
controls 
who,
what 
we are,
what 
we do.
Procreation,
self preservation 
strongest 
Instincts in
all animals.
Code by
 DNA.
Sex and
violence,
coded.
Coded for 
sex to 
propagate 
the species
and violence 
for the 
preservation of
the species.
Coded
deep within 
DNA.
The game
is rigged.
Finite options.
Predetermined,
coded in DNA.
Civilization 
struggling 
with code.
Struggling to
overwhelm the 
beast. 
Defeat the code,
the DNA.
The game
is rigged,
we do what 
the code 
directs.
We do
what
we were
coded to do.
The game is
rigged,
coded on
every 
level.
