Yes! We all got one, or two, three or more of them
All of us many of my siblings: brothers and sisters

We are all different, with different assets.
Lucky in some, fair or unlucky in some others

We are really all different, but with same assets
Shared, inherited our own way, born with it
Gift from our ancestors; to cherish, a curse sometime

Some even look and behave like apes and animals
Luckily not naked, but wear some clothes, most of the times!
Probably, they went too many thousands or millions of years
Back in time to pick up their ancestral assets, really wild!

We are all made in their combined image, diverse combinations
Many times I feel that they have never really died, just are reliving in us.
What do you call it: genes, born again and again, and again?
