We Are Each Other

How are we related?
Do we really need to know?
The world is diverse enough
the chances of meeting someone
you’re related to outside
your local village is rare.
But there is no lifeguard
on the gene pool of life.
Everyone is related to everyone
in one form or another.
How are we related?
In all years, in all ways,
in all lineages, in all lifelines.
We are each other.
