They came together in love, <br />chrystallised genes. <br />They did not know, <br />that a baby might grow <br />from that intimate night <br />where passions fuelled without a fight. <br />Duality emerged so desperate, <br />two histories separate. <br />A child had began to form, <br />so different from the norm. <br />From humans, two of a kind, <br />with shared, brilliant mind. <br />Their bodies created something, <br />a person not a nothing. <br />Ten tiny toes and feet, <br />struggling to compete, <br />in that wilderness of places, <br />called earth, full of empty spaces. <br />Perhaps they should not have done it, <br />their child may not have wanted it. <br />If only they had known <br />what they both had sown, <br />for their need to be in the future <br />for their need to create culture. <br />Chrystallised genes, <br />selfishly they leaned.<br /><br />Susan Alldred Lugton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chrystallised-genes/
