Family

Will you be my brother/sister in

The family of man?

Does the role of father/mother

Enter your specific plan?

Cousins may abound aplenty.

Are we all not cousins though?

Twice or twenty times removed

We witness as our families grow.

Fortune’s fate may boldly bless

Our bounty of inheritance

Through chromosomes and DNA or

Simple waves of happenstance that

Tickle as they trickle with

Their fickle fortitude

So nicely and concisely

In select ineptitude.

Whether linked by breath or blood or

Gene or genome as it may or

Simply tied by baseless borders,

Victims of proximity,

There is no escaping

That familiar cliché

That under God’s blue heavens

We are one large family.
