Chapter 179

Animal Genes

The animal genes rule
Survivals instincts thrive
With the things we do
It is a wonder we are still alive

When we look below the surface
From our very animal selves derive
We are never at the destination
When we think we arrive

Our mind says STOP
But the animal we can not deprive
It surges ahead haphazardly
Stirring up events like a bumped bee hive

The animal will not allow retreat
Under duress or never ending shrive
Away from life we recoil
Like a submarine in a crash dive

Our heart and mind seeking love
So yet another attempt we contrive
We think we are in control
But the animal seeks to survive

We can not contain the animal feelings
Slain many times the Hydra will revive
Everything doomed to disaster
No matter what our heart and mind strive

Nobody
