Everything you've done and thought of and viewed
Is stored in the DNA record in you.
It will either confuse or further enlight
With great stones of stumble or jewels of delight.
It is not your culture nor status nor class
That soon will distinguish you from the whole mass.
It is not your wealth nor the labels you're showing
But things that you learn and then make them your knowing.
Your self-knowledge unlocks a universe vast
Transcending the future, the present and past.
So reach for the rung of your memory's light
And climb to the stars on your ladder of life!
