Chemicals

Phospate, nitrogen,  and sugar

Entwined in ropelike spindles

A, T, G, C, four bases

We are chemicals.

Millions of combinations

Four letters to make it all

In a double helix it's bound

We are chemicals.

Hair colour and skin tone

Intelligence and drive

Are we unique?

Just chemicals.

Math, science, history

Careers and obstacles

Do we have knowledge?

Just chemicals.

Wealth and riches

Power, glory and fame

Do we have dreams?

Just chemicals.

Jealousy and hate

Hopelessness, despair, and strife 

Do we feel pain?

Just chemicals.

Love and sincerity

Personality, admiration, loyalty

Do we feel?

Just chemicals.

Full of truth and fire

Everlasting, eternal life

Do we have a soul?

Just chemicals.
