What is life?
Acid test
Life is not
about love
at the
earliest date
it’s all about
chemistry
or maybe
just fate.
Planets
must collide,
or comets
at least,
to grind
the earth
and release
the beast.
When the race
began and
the start light
went green,
non-living
molecules
were all
that was seen.
But here’s
the curse,
we’ve not
really sure
if proteins
came first.
The next bit
is slow.
Three point five
billion years ago
the proteins
fold and
start to grow.
So life came
from no life,
remember
this well,
that without
RNA’s splice
there’d be no
heaven or hell.
Now here
comes the
the acid test.
Did this
experiment
run by chance?
On a pin
how many
angels dance?
Now we
must cross
the ultimate line
in the sand,
and ask if
some kind
of God
may have
taken a hand.
