I'm a man, I'm an ape and a primate.
I'm a mammal and an air breathing vertebrate,
A multicellular eukaryote,
And my family is billions of years old.
I'm a man, a collection of atoms,
Oft exchanged, yet arranged in a pattern
That's described by an intricate code
Passed down in 46 chromosomes.
I'm a man, I'm a runner and a hunter,
Bred to track and pursue my quarry under
The sun on the plains of ancient Africa.
I provide with my eyes and brains and stamina.
I'm a man, I'm a storm of emotion
That underpins every motivation.
I'm aware, a moral agent making choices,
The result of my internal voices.
I'm a man, and I seek to comprehend
The universe I find myself within.
My mind is at home among the stars,
Reaching out through time and space, near and far.
