WHAT IF MAN IS ONLY ...

At the risk of repeating myself for the one-millionth time - Shakespeare's character Puck, from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" comes to mind ...

"What Fool's These Mortals Be!"



Poem Artwork




What If Man Is Only ...

© - Tom Hyland - 4-01-10

... a big GERM?

Atoms dividing naturally, only with a bigger brain?
A big micro-organism that can cause disease?
Merely a merger of ova and spermatozoa?
Like other self-producing organisms?


... a big VIRUS?

A minute particle that lives as a parasite on this planet?
A nucleic acid core within a protein sheath?
A corrupting or poisonous force?
The worst disease on the earth?


... a big WORM?

A computer storage medium, usually optical?
Where data cannot be changed after it is stored?
But it can be read back frequently, or repeatedly?
Write once - Read many times - Memory? DNA?


... a big SPORE?

A reproductive structure capable of developing a new individual?
A protozoan or amoeba that feeds on nitrogen and carbon?
A dormant resistant form, similar to fungi or algae?
A bacteria strain responsive to adverse conditions?


... a little TROJAN HORSE?

A program that inserts copies of itself?
The cause of over-population? Starvation? Disease?
A faux pas - an embarrassing blunder?
Is God - Laughing? Or Crying?



POSTSCRIPT:

Actually - God is Celebrating Today!


I heard a powerful booming baritone voice this morning:


“HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY!”

Thank you for sharing your wit and humor, Tom. A most appropriate write in my view. Love and peace,

Clever. And to think that people believe that we have evolved from some sort of primordial slime. Well, we haven't evolved far enough to stop killing and plundering one another. I'm thinking that it might be better to be a virus. They mutate and get stronger rather than weaker for all their troubles. Thanks for sharing Tom. Always the best stuff to wake up to in the am.

Self-reproduction seems to be a re-ocurring (sp) (too early for a dictionary) theme in your mini trities, (more sp) Is there something that you are not telling us, Tom?

Cheers and happy AFD,
Dan
