Life’s pattern shifts as time from time’s thread stock
mutates or waits on catalyst to key
into, through, metamorphosis to free
free-will from status quo, historic lock,
beyond straitjackets which clear thinking block.
The answer may not individuality
be seen to be but way we Destiny
engage in path unique as life’s short clock
tic tocs from birth to berth, first shock, last dock.
Genes seldom hold choice voice or equity
in fee – to Darwin contradictory –
dreams, compromise, from each bloom, blow half-cock.
Through open options, opportunity,
Mankind may leapfrog evolution’s tree …

Superb
You have a most unique write here. I like it just as it is. Imagery, rhythm and rhyme were just fine. Considering straitjackets, if you haven't read it you might enjoy my little poem: "Ele-Mental". Here's a link to it: http://allpoetry.com/poem/2986932 -
"Genes seldom hold choice voice or equity

I really enjoyed those lines. This piece really speaks of so many things, that really gives the reader something to think about. I like it when a poem do that. Very good! -
Outstanding
We learn through experiance. This poem explores the essence of life and I liked the language you chose and the intellectual flow of this poem. It repays analysis. I loved the concept of breaking out of a straitjacket - very original. You tune in to language and create strong poems that are unique.
