In My hands: Creating Life
I am a small little part of a plant...be it a leaf, a apical meristem, a root, a shoot, a flower or an anther~ Biotechnologists are my god and goddess, they harvest part of me from my mother..and place me on a petri dish or a mere container sealed tightly...
I am feeding..yum yum...but differently...plants make food using leaves and absorbing light...me? i eat the agar below me...chew chew chew...yum yum...hmmm....something is changing...
yeah..i am changing...i no longer looks like who i was...now i am a mere mashy stuff...known as callus...oh my...this dun look anything like a plant!!!! this must be the work of god~
*blowing wind* what is that? it looks like an operating theatre known as the laminiar flow hood...i was lifted up and place into a new plate...chew chew was all i did...somethings start to change...
*tada* i grow shoots....many many shoots...starts popping out of me...oh my...now i look like a plant...god changes me~ giving me many hands...I wonder whats next?many be legs?
like a foetus growing, i starts to develop to look like my mother plant...but~ all i was was a little plant in a plate...soon...i was taken out...
wow~ the shining light shine on me...i see the sun!!!!! i look around and saw my siblings...all standing tall...amazed by it..i told myself to grow tall and strong like my mother...as days goes by...
one by one, my siblings wilt and die...left me standing...i turn and look...saw a bag...all my siblings are in there...upon looking..i saw those familiar plates..those that i once sit in...i saw many baby plants crying...they were all destine to die...
*poof* in minutes...they were dead..left me and a few other standing tall...we grew up..bloom like our mothers...and became mothers ourselves...but what makes us sad was, to know our kids are just like our siblings...wilt and killed as they were not strong enough...
life had to go on...life have to make stronger...as only the strongest wins~
a little tribute to plants in labs~
