James Marshall Goff Poet Lyric

No " I " In Dna

tis' true mere mortals
toil in turmoil

since grand is the plan
laid seasons ago

for as you can see,
presented to thee

my art is five centuries old!





*inspired by Charles Bukowski
and I quote...."we are hardly ever as strong as that which we create"

John Freeman July 13, 2009 at 1:09 PM James, I am assuming, by your chosen title " No I In DNA " that as a human being, we are not the cause of, but the effect of the power of God or love's DNA. If so brilliant! A Godly bless from Moses!
