It is Human to Conflict

it is human to conflict
like metal to magnet
life evolves or dies off

taking good progress 
forsaking dead weights
across oceans of time

through trial and error

here we are, in the flesh

this kluge of success 

from vestigial traits
manifested from copies
far removed from the originals

now eating ourselves
for reasons long past

it is human to conflict

life evolves or dies off
