Clones
It is a fact that there is more genetic variety
In a small group of chimps
Than the entire human race
Basically we are all clones of each other
This means a murderer waiting on death row
And a famed scientist whose contributions are lauded
Are just different aspects of the same thing.
Tell the murderer to beam with pride over his many achievements
As he walks to his death
And tell the Scientist to tremble with restrain terror
As he receives his Nobel Prize.
