From a single molecule, One microscopic molecule, ONE TINY PEACE OF REPLICATING MATTER, Life as we know it has emerged with all its beauty. Humans - You, Me and every single living being on this earth, Has risen from one molecule
Can you imagine? Your life, Your particular traits The way you get slightly embarrassed after taking a compliment The way you feel after an argument Your fingers, your muscles, your eyes, and your brain - Everything has been generated from one single molecule It determines your looks, it determines all of your abilities (we must not forget the environment, which shapes the molecule into what it becomes, but it's not the theme for this poem. So let us move on) It determines the feelings you are capable of having. It controls your body and the actions you generate.
Think about it! No SERIOUSLY think about it!
How is that possible??? Your whole life is governed by that single molecule. You are nothing but It's host, Its robot Whose sole purpose is to get It into the next generation The molecule doesn't even care about you that much. It makes you die so that you don't compromise Its further proliferation After a while, you are just an outdated machine, a liability to newer copies You have to die so that new combinations can see what works. ****... I didn't see it as deeply before I should call myself Mr. Molecule a biological robot living to further my genes existence. It feels so empty, though But this is the truth I feel used. Used by the very thing that gave me life The very thing that is me That gave me the ability to have consciousness, To think and to observe To look and to see To write these words To understand and to manipulate That gave me the potential for everything I can do It is the origin for everything that we have ever experienced. Itβs about time that everyone finally came to realize.
