Evolution Poem by Doom & Gloom

Evolution

Rating: 3.5


Evolutions a theory so stunningly grand, that has altered the way we think about life
Within the oceans, in the air and on land, its countless results are wonderfully rife
The process revealed is so staggeringly slow, when viewed in terms of human years
Many millennia till progress will show, while civilisations disappear
Genetic mutation the developing key, with natural selection screening for flaws
Everything linked homologically, promoting success to develop some more
For billions of years life has evolved, from abiogenesis in primordial sea
To stand here now with questions resolved, to comprehend life’s rich tapestry
We often forget we are links in a chain, a prototypical natural design
With minor adjustments to DNA strain, our mark is left in our hereditary line
The purpose of life is not understood, to develop and grow seems a prerequisite
Without aberration we never could, contemplate life and the beauty of it

Call it evolution if you like to But change's not always better for me and you. Those pesky genes seems to come and go Although as you say, the process is slow. As an example, Bird Flu May with change, get us too. As a species becomes extinct, So be it is what the scientist think. After all, evolving is in genes contained, Yet the lowly cockroach seems to have remained And survived, while other species have faded away Not staying about for the break of a new day. Which seems to me proof that there is a design That when it works, leaving it alone is just fine. And evolution is a way of sorting out the flaws That are written in genetic laws. And unless mass extinction is our fate, Perhaps perfection is for us at some later date. s
