Social Comment - My Dna Poem by Paul Warren

Social Comment - My Dna



I provided DNA to a Canadian laboratory for a test
I wanted to find my pedigree and if I was from the best
What I found was that I was related to all God created
In particular a certain black lady who lived and propagated
Under a Central African sun such a long long time ago
So that when her extended family finally was to grow
They migrated all the way through the Middle East
To Europe then Ireland when skin colour change was the least
Of their concerns as local conditions and selection for us found
Us all different looking from our Great-Grandmother so profound
We all need to understand that we are all the same family!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
There is a DNA project looking to tract all of our family history. You can send for a kit and then send it back for testing. I did and I am like every other person on the planet related to a black lady in Central Africa, whose descendants migrated up Africa, into the Middle East, Asia, Britain, the Atlantic, Pacific and the Americans. We are all the same family.
