The Wasteland by Danny O'Keefe

[stilltrucking]

In reply to a mnaz poem formerly called "Join A Gang"



"they make a wasteland...call it peace" Tacitus, maybe.

"It doesn't matter, tattooed in DNA" mnaz

Yes it is tattooed in our DNA
like those old tv ads for Ragu speghetti sauce

It is all in there,
the rage
the agression
the love
the compassion

life
death
art
poetry
music
war

it is all in there
and every grain of sand is numbered
in some super natural world
I suppose




"A Disease Called Man"~Swift?

I read a strange bit about how retroviruses have written bits of themselves into our DNA over the past couple hundred thousand years.
Many believe that they play a key role in evolution as well.


Hmm, does a retro virus have a self
I wonder.
