"Science" by Wayne Bow

We are our own mitochondria:

We have power.

We’ve conquered the elements

And drawn tables upon which we

Plan the future of mankind.

We have power.

There are obstacles, yes.

Every person has their own fire

That sucks the air out of our lungs

But the ones that cannot be diffused through

I can count on my digits,

And they’re far from significant.

Go figure.

I learned that the friction is negligible.

Resistance should not b

e considered and that

No matter who you are,

There’s always going to be a force

That will support you with every step.

And you don’t have to be normal.

There’s no need to conform or be constant.

Be independent. Be varied.

Be the evolution that you want to see in this world

And confirm the positive results.

I learned that we are all attracted to each other.

Even if it’s just on some subatomic level,

We are all magnets that pull at each other.

To be closer. We want to be closer

And not in terms of sign.

I’m positive that the fact that we exist is enough.

The fact is that our bodies are designed to protect.

We’re hardwired to reduce pain and suffering.

We are designed to be safe, but we’re also designed to be free.

We are designed at birth and we resign our losses

As nothing more than a virus.

We take DNA for destiny and let it choose for us.

Education is an art, and it’s up to us to interpret it.

The facts can be devised to suit our own needs,

So do what you want with what you have.

Embrace the virus! Attack the system that keeps

Us from experiencing the world around us.

Be nervous. Be edgy.

Be sensitive but not defensive.

Sense the world’s willingness to comply.

Let your bonds be broken and be free

From all material desires.

I learned that almost everything in the universe

Is comprised mostly of atoms, and how

Atoms are comprised of almost nothing.

I questioned how much of us are really here,

And if we’re not here, then where are we?
