DNA

DNA and I go a long way

It was here before I came along

It will remain after I leave

You and I have only just met

But our DNA has been here

It’s been waiting for us to claim it

It’s been waiting for us to re-name it

It’s been waiting

It’s been propagating

So why are we wasting time?

Why not make a go of it?
