The Original Computer
Nature is the original computer:
A hardware wonder,
A software magic,
With downloaded clocks and calendars.
Infinite functions and commands
Activated by countless bits and bytes of energy
Each and every chip is loaded
With codes of all instincts and genes
Of each and every living creature-
Be it the amoeba or the whale,
The finch or the vulture,
The ant or the elephant.
Each and every phase is programmed-
Propagation and hibernation,
Ovulation and gestation,
Migration and mutation;
On the dot it occurs
With unerring precision.
That is Nature where
Law and order prevails.
God's in His Heaven
And all's well with the world.
