You

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Sep 02, 2021 

You.
What
are you
you?
Born
as you
are.
Personality,
talents
baked in.
At conception
baked in.
Mixing
genetics.
Ingredients
prearranged,
listed,
blended.
Toss
of the
dice.
Wielding
outcomes.
Mixing
traits.
How will
you
perform?
Have you
a choice?
Character
built in?
Wiring,
laid out.
Everything
predetermined?
What are
you?
What choice
is really
yours?
