What do you think this poem is about?

*Nature and Nurture

I walked abandoned
Lonely fields
Millennia of toil.
Wind-blown shell sand
Augmented with sweat,
Wrack and every kind
Of dung.

In that fevered hour
I knew the kindness
Of departed kin
Brown wrinkled skin
Stretched over young bones
No longer even that.

Voices of the wind.

Solidarity determined
By unwillingness to waste
A dropp of life.
I felt them smile
They knew
I am coded
In the base of four.
Unbreakable.

    We are strong by nature, our genetic code and nurture...our collective will to survive and adapt. Very clever and beautifully written!
