We're all made up of the same stuff

We're all made up of the same stuff:

Nerves and impulses

At the most basic level.

Underneath every conscious thought

We're nothing more than instinct:

Pure fear, hunger, anger--

Emotional survival.

But then we have more things to

Keep us occupied in our minds

Because we can make connections and draw conclusions

And we experience so much more.

But everything we process is caused

By a physical connection--a reaction,

A neural, electrical charge

Making sense for you and me.
