“Ancestry is Garbage (The Sonnet)
DNA test may reveal your ancestry,
But there is no DNA test for character.
IQ may reveal deficit in logical aptitude,
There's no IQ test for excellence or genius.
If bloodline dictated destiny,
We'd still be dangling from trees.
Not that we've done much better,
But at least there is possibility.
In the end we are all monkeys,
We all come from the jungle.
Question is, have we conquered
the jungle that lurks in our heart,
have we risen yet above the animal!
Ancestry is garbage, IQ is useless,
Living humans don't rely on such nonsense.
Heart, brain, backbone, these make who we are,
Everything else is mythology of the savages.”
― Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets
