“Conception”
Only the strong will survive.
A million silver stars swimming
To the centre of a golden sun
Yet only one
Could create who we are.
The sun joined by a star.
And the two were made one
Male and female—the marriage of science complete
And Life’s celebration complete
For the millions—short of one—
Will perish unto defeat
Death’s celebration complete.
We were born to compete.
Life reinforces Death and Death reinforces Life.
And this is who we are:
The union of a sun and a star.
