Adams Thumb Prints Poem by Dave Dunn

Adams Thumb Prints

DNA is a marvel that's very true
And your's must reflect well upon you
Those twisting chains of proteins and more
Have in their ravels a record we now score
On computers the bases are being plotted to see
How clearly the great apes are related to me
But hidden amidst the recumbent parts
Are secrets of evolutions which all had to start
From something much simpler than we have become
For we are so very complex, every dad every mum
And if in the fullness of time someone finds
The thumb prints of Adam in all those genetic lines
Then can we finally construct a picture of the man
Whom the Bible states was the first one to stand?
