Thinking about Charles Darwin

Does anyone know the present state
Of the Nature/Nurture great debate?
It’s an Open Question – and for some
Each side has doubts to overcome.
The Verger no doubt thinks it’s true
That God has Power over You –
He thinks, whatever circumstance,
In Life there’s nothing left to chance
We simply can’t ignore the facts -
We reap the Harvest of our acts;
But some think nurtured - good or bad -
We ape the ancestors we had;
That character in all creatures movin’,
Like filigree is interwoven
Within our genes; in every case,
The nose that grows upon our face
Mimics the nose some forebear sported –
Which proves that genes cannot be thwarted.
And, like a lintel careful placed
Above a door, to building brace,
Our genes ensure the human race
Although displaced from place to place
Will always take the human form
Will not mutate too far from norm –
So each man looks much like his brother -
And his wife, in time, becomes her mother!
