We are not our cells

We are cells upon cells upon cells
Dragging our feet across the sands
Dressing up as humanity 
Across these desert lands and 
We are not ourselves 

Each cell consists of cytoplasm 
Nucleic acid and protein
For when they kill by the head, chop 
Prokaryotic first cell o'earth it seems 
We are not ourselves 

Borders keep shifting and 
The land mass keeps moving 
In this earthquake of humanity 
An ancient landmass shifts 
For the bacteria have woken 

We are not ourselves 
Across these desert lands and 
Dressing up as humanity 
Dragging our feet across the sands
We are cells upon cells upon cells
