A selfish song

DNA is indifferent to suffering

And doesn’t mind what you consume, or what you need

But be sure to devour, enough of the power

To ensure you feed and breed

 

Yeah, cos feeding and breeding, are all that we’re needing

Tunes are a boon, and we don’t need to be reading

We’re only here, to help make a new seedling

Life’s little gifts are just greed. Though misleading

 

You think the plants in the pantry, and the fish in the dish

Are all happy to be your food?

And your DNA doesn’t mind what you eat

Cos all of her flavours, fit your mood?

 

To keep in good health, we add nutrients to ourselves

And store as much of the sunshine, we can feel

We’ve a gene that is mean, making toast of our host

But soon enough, we’ll be the meal
