According to what
the scientists say--
We were merely
single-celled beings,
We have come a long,
long way.
It’s hard to imagine
life before
Becoming
multi-cellular creatures
With such a wide
assortment of
Fascinating traits
and features.
If sixty percent of
our DNA
Is shared with fruit
flies, we can see
That we humans and
fruit flies have
A certain
commonality.
If ninety-two
percent of our
DNA is shared with
mice,
Before we take their
little lives,
Do we ever stop and
think twice?
Before we kill that
fly or rodent--
For reasons that
number more than a dozen--
We could at least
show a little
Respect and say,
“Sorry, Cousin.”
