Dancing to DNA

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. As that unhappy poet A.E. Housman put it: "For Nature, heartless, witless Nature Will neither care nor know." DNA neither cares no knows. DNA just is. And we dance to its music. -Richard Dawkins.

This is in response to that...

Winding and twirling melodies
Singing of hours, happiness, and
time spent in tears

A hand lifted in greeting
A foot stepping on a journey
Appendages playing in efficient harmonies

Coincidence: atoms rearranged?
Cataclysmic explosions resulting in
beings capable of emotion and

conscious thought and
sometimes
logical conclusions

An opera of Mother Nature?
From a gorilla to a man?
How useless these lives

Preparing only for the
next step of evolution's thunder
A mission nonexistent

The changing of the leaves and
the ocean's swell
The sparks in a lover's eyes

This orchestrated dance of our
DNA arranged
in complex patterns

of love and death
must be composed by
a higher power.
