The Hybrid Seed


The Hybrid Seed
By Dwayne Alvin Hearn
To every society
seeds are life
their extinction
leads to strife
For every seed
A research librarian
It keeps inside
A perfect diary
A seeds genes are
An open book
With all the answers
If we look
They tell us
What we need
So our people
We may feed.
The time has come
To understand
We must acquire
A better plan
Nature will find
It's own s6urce
By letting it
Take its course
A centuries long
collaboration
Lost in only
A few generations
Of splicing this
And cutting there
Something is lost
No one cares
When you clone
Lines are lost
Then we pay
A higher cost
For once lost
You can't replace
The genetic lines
Our Human Race
