Poem -
RNA World
RNAĀ
molecules performingĀ
catalytic buzz feed
assembling in line
like they would jump
from a nucleotide soup
self-replicating patterns
recombination and mutation
new niches
enzymic activities
thenĀ
blooming synthesizing proteins
binding acids glue of you
arranging with the templateĀ
the first proteins
mini-elements of structure
reverse transcription to
DNA
go forth from your puddle

Go forth and WALK upon the land!! (lol!)..........there is so much symbolism..........double entendre..........quantum physics...........and sheer poetic fun in this gem.........that I had to have my room mate read this..........He's a HUGE Asimov and Newton fan........that I knew it would blow him away.........he's throwing darts at his Einstein poster at this moment (lol!)...........this HAD to be a joy to write.............most of it is beyond my meager understanding.............but it's eloquent intent had me from start to finish.............very cool bro!!...............your secret admirer............T : )
Tony-Was aĀ joy to write.Thanks my man...have been reading many theories as of late all subjective......
what better way then a poem......Ā not everyone will agree....some things can seem interesting without facts as we know....thanks for your input and reading...will be reading some more of Ā yours fo sure...
PeaceĀ
definition : Ā RNA-world
Noun
(pluralĀ RNA worlds)
(biology) AĀ hypotheticalĀ precursorĀ toĀ lifeĀ onĀ EarthĀ in which RNA acted both as anĀ information-storage molecule and as aĀ catalyst
Abstract
The general notion of an āRNA Worldā is that, in the early development of life on the Earth, genetic continuity was assured by the replication of RNA and genetically encoded proteins were not involved as catalysts. There is now strong evidence indicating that an RNA World did indeed exist before DNA- and protein-based life. However, arguments regarding whether life on Earth began with RNA are more tenuous. It might be imagined that all of the components of RNA were available in some prebiotic pool, and that these components assembled into replicating, evolving polynucleotides without the prior existence of any evolved macromolecules. A thorough consideration of this āRNA-firstā view of the origin of life must reconcile concerns regarding the intractable mixtures that are obtained in experiments designed to simulate the chemistry of the primitive Earth. Perhaps these concerns will eventually be resolved, and recent experimental findings provide some reason for optimism. However, the problem of the origin of the RNA World is far from being solved, and it is fruitful to consider the alternative possibility that RNA was preceded by some other replicating, evolving molecule, just as DNA and proteins were preceded by RNA.
Brilliant and can you add
go forth from your puddle and MULTIPLY?
What was before RNA?
Jai-great question I will have to go deeper i think...thanks
mark you are amazing to me, and I wish I had a science teacher like you growing up to spark my imagination and interest in the subject....while I'm reading this poem; (after reading your definitions, and Tony's comment) I'm over-whelmed by the imagery andĀ passion it speaks, incredibly organic tone in the middle of so much science....my brain is anything but scientificĀ but your point of view is riveting even for a creationist like myself this is spectacular intelligence on display...enjoyed my friend....brilliant food for thought....cheersĀ

Chris thank you always love your point of view!!!
What I am thinking of this composition?
I think that if there is a poetry of intellectual and scientific type here we have a great example of this. The poem by Mark exposes a fundamental activity for life, ribonucleic acid is found in prokaryotic cells and in eukaryotes, is the only genetic material of some viruses and a determining agent which marks the age of individuals.
A greeting.
Lucas thanks for reading i enjoy your input....
Since the ancient alchemists came out of their caves and coined the word science, the empirical has never been absolute, which yesterday was fiction today is a fact and what today is just fancy morning can be science. I agree with the opinion of Tony, the composition of Mark is perfect, intelligent and presents a possibility. Living beings, and when I say living beings... I mean all species, secret formulas have yet to be deciphered and immersed in a loop of death and living forever and ever.
A greeting to all.
Lucas-Thank you
