Beyond the Farthest Mortal Eye Can Scan (DNA)

A further offering in the 'Beyond the Farthest Mortal Eye Can Scan’ series’, this time about genetics

Deft incorporated in us

our genetic string,

making each an individual;

wondrous varying

of four base nucleic acids

shared by every living thing.

Deep within this comprehension,

fresh insights abound

of disease and diagnosis;

glimpses so profound

they demand new understandings

needing wise and re-thought bounds.

Fundamental are these questions,

on a broad’ning scale,

with life prospects, changing often

old precepts can fail.

Pray as bound’ries need reframing,

Godly wisdom may prevail.
