All life began from one cell. Sometimes cells mutate in less than desirable ways.
One by Michael Romani A cell Four and a half billon years ago A cell Divided into two Then as though compelled And having nowhere else to go Those two cells became four as cells do And so on and so on Four and a half billion years of once upon All life came from one And will never be done On and on life grows And so it shows All land life All sea life All life From a single cell But some cells get it wrong Mutating into something A something that doesn't belong And maybe neither do I any longer I have to be stronger I will fight with all I am I did not say hello Just to say goodbye And she knows As she quietly sighs Life is filled with irony I will not let death claim me Not now Somehow One cell Becomes two It's a hard sell But now that two Has become one I refuse to be undone We are one One together And in that unified one We are stronger and better I will live Because I live to love her (c) November 12, 2018 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
