Poetry! Its in the Genes!

Poetry! It’s in the Genes!

Poetry is true magic, which takes us beyond the realms of the mundane to a world that is the writer’s creation. It can be a balm to the soul or the discordant chord that awakens us to reality. At MapmyGenome, we celebrate World Poetry Day with genetic poetry.

Through the Genome Glass

By Anu Acharya, CEO, MapmyGenome (inspired by Lewis Carroll)

Will offspring with pure genetics grow
As blue eyed medicine’s wonder!
Research is discreet, and I am wowed
To it, I shall surrender,
That advances in genomics will surely hail
the love gift of a fairy tale

Or will it?

Some have not seen the sunny side
nor heard of it in daily chatter
No thought of genome shall find a place
In their lives hereafter

Unless

A tale that started in the age old days
When life was simple and flowing
A simple habit that can be served in time
Through The Rhythm of our knowing

Whose implications may live in our genes
Through generations over time

Genes Beyond History

By Geethanjali Tanikella, Corporate Communication, MapmyGenome (inspired by MapmyGenome)

Millennia may pass,
Dynasties may fade,
History may vanish,
Without leaving a trace.

Archaeologists’ finds,
Poets’ visions,
Scientists’ theories,
May guess the past.

But the hidden link,
Is deep within.
Passed from parent to child,
Inheritance stays true.

In the DNA
Are the answers.
