New Life Form

Eureka!

Discovered!

A life that wasn't known!

Buried alive,

Continued to thrive,

Flesh still clings to bone!

It functions!

It’s breathing!

Appears to have a brain!

It feels things!

It’s bleeding!

It recognizes pain!

This life form,

so different,

Is mine and mine alone!

I claim it!

I'll keep it!

I'll name this life My Own!
