So why did Ciral think this must be so?
He’d put his thinking organ through the rack
attempting to explain why people go
to such great lengths to set their egos back.
He’d reckoned that the reason must relate
to some resemblance that our minds infer
between those weaker and those we create.
More helpless entities are needier.
But is that not our wont instinctively?
Why would we need a value to assist
the process that has grown our fam’ly tree?
Big brains should only help. No, there’s a twist.
What he was thinking, then, goes well beyond
the pressure on a woman to conceive.
He thought this led to much of which we’re fond—
quite possibly to all that we believe.
