Garbage in, garbage out....


The first time one heard the term "Garbage In, Garbage Out" , was when one worked in software projects. Turns out that the principle is more widely applicable in the real world....



In the beginning
of the world
there was garbage,
hissing
with methylated DNA's.

By leaps and bounds,
happened,
quadrupeds,
bipeds,
and
hypothalamised
cerebral cortexes
bursting,
with evolving abuse
for another biped..

Vicious expletives,
comparison with
female dogs,
rats,pigs
and wishing
a cursed stay
in a garbage pail...

She wondered
if pigs
call each other
rats
when angry,
or rats wish garbage on each other,
since humans did...

An ulcerated
bleeding
mind,
pock marked with abuse,
and
as she lay
breathing her last,
she willed
her body
to be donated
for research.

No false tears and
obituaries...
just a shameless
visage of
one who inspired the move.

A fine cutting up,
and a return
to garbage,
but enriching
some minds
and learning
in the bargain.


Enumerated as garbage,
treated like dirt
and now,
back to garbage........

And the pigs
dogs
and rats
look on,
at the humans,
and wonder
what happened to evolution....

  1. And so I see, you too have visited the depths of this hellish place that, in another dance of possibilities could have been . . .so much.
