Mutts R Us

The mongrelization of mankind 
Is simultaneously synchronized 
With the Information Age ... 
Linking cultures through marriage, 
Translation apps and petri dishes. 
Pure breeds are becoming extinct 
Through progress and innovation. 
Racism lost the pace to win the race.
Now only bohemian Babylonian babies are born.
A mass consciousness is awakening  
Into an age of enlightenment. 
Inevitably, the spiral staircase of DNA 
Towers upward undetected 
Unwittingly putting a leash around our necks 
Walking us ever closer 
To the paws of Dog. 

"Sniff butter!"
Becomes the catchphrase of the day.
What it's come to mean? I cannot say.

What an intriguing poem. I love the blending of the "mutts" into your lines. Nicely done. All the best.
