Underpinnings

John Prophet

The
underpinnings
of our civilization
is genetically
controlled.
Our two dominate
instinctual drives,
self preservation
and procreation
are reflected in our
global structure.
Our preoccupation
with sex and violence,
reflected in our songs,
our books, our music,
everything.
Human genetic code
is woven
into the fabric
of society and cultures
like a fine tapestry.
Nothing done by us
has not been
written in code
reflected back to our eyes
reinforcing the script
laid out so long ago.
A script forged
in the stars,
massaged by the software
of the universe.
The maestro,
wand held high
conducting it all with
ease and grace,
leading to a crescendo
of unknown time
and duration.
We all dance to the tune.
In this we have
little choice.
Each step taken
to a large extend scripted
with some self
expression allowed.
So dance away
and throw in
as many unique moves
as you can.
