Evolution Poem by Paul Warren

Imperfect reproductions in generations made
Living things have offspring in their grade
We all are not absolute in our copy of the original
But there seems to be infinite variations possible

It seems that beauty, strength and intellect
Occur by nature's experiment or accident
I would say that raw materials would have a say
With lineage and parenting a part in the way

So once in a while there is an Einstein, Confucius or Bolt
That gives this Earth over an almighty jolt
But will we be able to breed a better human
And make for the world a better scientific plan

Will we evolve in these generational imperfections
That will take humankind in the new directions
Or is it by the luck of nature and we will have to wait
To find the next genius, philosopher or athletic great.
