A LITTLE DNA

Just the other day I had a chance to run my DNA

and was pleasantly surprised at what I found.

Other friends and family say they’ve also run their DNA

and ended up surprised if not spellbound.

For once my DNA was scanned…at this point I began

to understand we are all a little more related than we think.

How quickly I did see how many different people make up me

and how it seems with everyone I have a link.

A little DNA shows there is a flood….a mix of people in our blood

made up from lands both near and far…

who across these many years…somehow it appears

have had a hand in creating who we are.

If we trace our bloodline back…we may find that we are black

all from a little DNA

We might come to know…in our blood is Latino

and I imagine some people in our past were straight and others gay. 

Which makes me wonder if members of the KKK should ever run their DNA

Would they dismiss this fact or be enthralled….

could they possibly conceive…despite what they believe

We are not one race but a mixture of them all!

Would they be upset…would they be angry…feel mad

to think how we are all one symmetry? 

Or would prejudice slowly melt away… due to a little DNA

and would we begin to see the end of hate and bigotry.

People of the world refuse to unite…we continue our wars and fights

despite what our spiritual thinkers say…

Wouldn’t it be great…if what ultimately makes the world cooperate…

is just a simple little bit of DNA?
