Culture

We're simply an experiment
a measured drop of crud
kept viable, but ignorant
like piggies in the mud

an entity much more advanced
is watching all we do
deciding if it should be chanced
to let the sample brew

for microbes can be tricky ilk
and known to quickly spread
destroying those off which they bilk
until the host is dead

but hopefully that's not the case
we're not an end that's loose
existing on the borrowed grace
of living past our use.
