If rape is the violation of an individual
genetic modification is
the violation of an entire species.
An intimate invasion of our very core
tampering with the most basic elements
foundations that define us
Sometimes with humor:
pigs have bigger ears because they just won't listen.
Sometimes with shrewdness:
less nutritional foods make us more controllable.
Sometimes plain cruelness:
like the case of the human pineapple.
But always, always wrong,
But always, always wrong.
Have you wondered why?
Have you asked Why?
Little by little we are being dispossessed
of this most precious inheritance
we never dream we needed to protect.
And as the world around us
becomes more uniform
the word diversification is turned into a joke.
For all the peoples around the world
your collective genetic make-up is your wealth.
For all the creatures around the world
you lack of genetic integrity is our shame.
For all the plants and trees around the world
what do we have to do the hold on to you?
