A Flaw in the DNA
There’s a code
For violence and hate
Spelt out in bases
Preventing us
From being really great
Tainting our traces.
Everything we do
Stained by poisons we create
Written on our faces.
An intrinsic evil
In our twisted fate
In all our airs and graces.
Greed and lust for power
Are the template
On which we tie our laces.
Always directing us
Through a genetic template
Through a million unsolved cases.
It’s a behaviour
That will never abate
A history of endless disgraces.
Locked in cruelty
In a domineering state
And war in full spate.
There’s a code
For violence and hate
Spelt out in bases

It always feels to me as if there is something very wrong with human beings. It lies deep within our genes. There is a love for inflicting pain and death that seems embedded in our nature.
It’s obscene.
War, torture, hunting, baiting and hurting animals, threatening, fighting, greed and lust for power. It dominates our world.
Just imagine how good the world could be if we didn’t have this constant minority causing trouble. No need for a police force or army. No security checks at airports. No locks on doors. No fear walking down the street. No fights. No muggings. No wars.
Instead, love, fellowship, a helping hand, security and a planet that was properly looked after.
How different.
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
But we have the nasty genes. How do we deal with them?
