Evolution Poem by Alan balter

Evolution


Regarding the dispute over evolution
There are differing views about the solution
Did we evolve from creatures lower than we
Or were we created all at once by He?

It's not my purpose to change your mind
Nor alter the theory to which you're aligned
But here's an example to think about
‘Tho it may not be easy to figure out

We send our young men off to war
Then, some off us forget what they're fighting for
Sometimes what comes home are only dog tags
So we bury their bodies and give their wives flags

And those who make it back to our borders
Often suffer from psychiatric disorders
Hallucinations, flashbacks, and terrible fears
Plague them all the rest of their years

So when I think about Darwin's theory
Sometimes I tend to walk away weary
Who is more primitive is the question I see
Is it the gorilla or is it we?
