Whither Dysmorphia

There is no doubt that man has progressed far beyond his worth The human race has earned its place upon this planet Earth But think on this – one architect above us standing tall Accomplished in a heartbeat something greater than them all Your body is the product of intelligent design Far greater than the robots on the car production line No need for slide rules, formulas, computer buffs or pi ‘twas fashioned from the dust within the twinkling of an eye Did you know, for example all your blood vessels unfurled Would stretch 100,000 miles – that’s four times round the world Each single step you take today to hold your bodyweight Employs 200 muscles just to keep you standing straight Your skeleton is fragile and a break takes time to heal But pound for pound your bones are stronger than the toughest steel The colours of the rainbow – one of natures greatest views Yet the human eye can recognise ten million separate hues Annoyed when you forget stuff but no wonder it’s a pain There’s a million billion bits of info stored inside your brain So, music calms the savage breast, no doubt you’ve heard it too But your heartbeat synchronizes with the tune you’re listening to You’re smelling something iffy, have you brought deodorant To your nose, no sweat, It’s one of over fifty thousand scents Your DNA coiled tight within the confines of your frame Unfurled; ten billion miles to Pluto ( and back home again ) Your heart will pump 360 million pints of blood And drive a truck for 20 miles with energy it’s stored The average camera has 5 megapixels so we’re told the human eye outstrips it by at least a hundredfold Your atom count alone should cause your knees to bow and bend An Octillion has more than 20 zeroes at the end So whilst we should be proud of what we’ve managed to achieve And Moore’s Law will continue to inform us, I believe Your body is the greatest work of art you’ll ever see Thanks be to God for choosing to create humanity.
