The Butterfly Effect

How does a tiny change in code
Become a ticking timer set to implode?
How does an altered genomic lettering
Become cataclysmic for the human being?

.

With time, even mechanisms of repair
Fail to correct every base pair.
Soon the tiny genomic alteration
Becomes a harmful mutation.

.

As tiny seismic waves from a distant latitude
Transform into tsunamis of great magnitude,
A mutation triggers abnormalities in cell structure
And in silence grows the malign tumour.

.

Even as the human plans to rise and soar,
All hope shatters with cancer stage four.
