Inward Rectifying Potassium Channel

This is what I am
I cannot talk
There are many types of me
I balance charge within my cell

I help it Release a hormone
They call that Hormone insulin
I will die
Everything alive in this cell will die

Life is not everything
I am not conscious
So I would not vote for conscious life
I believe I am alive

So I don't think
Yet I have purpose
A function, a calling
I am created and I die

Many others will take my place
In this body, the body of
Josef Heller geb. 1843-1859
He was a criminal, a theif

He was murdered
Unfairly, I believe,
We died with him
Not concerned with his morals

Yet his blueprint was contained within
Within the cell in which we worked
I never went there though
So was I not innocent of his crimes?

But I helped keep him alive,
Does that not make me part guilty
For the crimes he committed
What is crime anyway?

It depends where on earth Josef was
As to the applicable jurisdiction
If he was not caught
Is that still crime?

What about crime before God?
Does God have inwardly rectifying potassium channels?
How would they feel about it
They wouldn't, they just shut up and do their work
