Do single cell have consciousness

It's always been a hot debate,

whether soul exists after death,

that traverses across dimensions, 

leaving behind our mortal world. 


Whatever may be the contentions, 

there's remain a distinct notion,

that identifies both life and death,

without considering other options. 


Yet, medical science have brought,

viable organs, back from the dead,

to be used in the transplants,

bringing life, to another person. 


And it makes us wonder,

if there's something more,

to the concepts of soul,

that's enclosed, in cellular level. 


For, each cell is alive,

has propensity to thrive,

if provided with environment, 

they act independently, to survive. 


Like Xenobots, an artificial organism, 

created from skin cell of frog's embryo,

with behaviors, beyond its biological role,

obscuring boundaries, between living & robot. 


And we question, the idea of life,

existence of third state, beyond primaries,

or we just dismiss these lesser lifeforms,

even if, they are the building blocks?
