Naked And Blind Are We

Is there anything that we brought into this world? No, nothing.
Do we take anything out of this world as we pass the gate? Nothing.
Naked we came as everyone before us and all that we claim of having done we are leaving for others to enjoy.
Yet we pay estate tax, put up with fools and pay lipservice to customs and blind gods of our making.
Never mind. While we have our being we fool ourselves that we are very relevant.

Small marine animals called polyps create coral reefs. After a polyp dies it leaves behind a deposit of calcium carbonate upon which another one builds. Coral reefs stand as a testimony to their skill. Even a larva as small as a pearl has its pride of place in its formation. By the same token we all have our place in the cities we build.
Drawing calcium from the sea the polyps produce reef even as our architecture would indicate: there is nothing that we have brought special which isn’t part of nature.
What makes us then differentiate one another?
Tailpiece: Haves in the lexicon of Nature denote Natural selection. Have-nots have become extinct.
