Metaphors with the gene

A metaphor specifically refers to something else. And in life, there are metaphors.

And for the worshiping adorers

genes are still the most powerful deity.

an inheritance passed

to the offspring from an ancestor

Still, the much more mighty saint is the protein.

But life is a chance

second acts occur in life

silent taste to go by

and on the ground the leaf flows

if the gold is still or not

and there's no grievance

We don't believe life gives equally

and the gene is responsible in no limited amounts

and we all sit here and write from it

and with the strength the gene gives us all
