Greek myth

by Kevin T McEneaney

All life that exists is cellular life.

There is no other form of life at all.

One might say cells are the “atoms” of life.

Current theory holds that a lightning bolt

may have divided a cell in two parts,

creating evolutionary life.

*

Such speculation in cell division

has not changed in at least three thousand years.

Greeks conceived the same theory long ago

with the god Zeus hurling a lightning bolt

to create the process of life on Earth.

*

There has been no progress on the theory

in the past three thousand years of science!
