EVOLUTION


The shaven uprights

Walking in supreme confidence

Failed in the dead-reckoning

While scorned animal-flesh

Dies to survive.


In fleeing the lust-driven rodents,

The man-machine went electric.

But fainting, stumbled

The crazed weasels upon him.


And Sad-eyed Prometheus

Begs another chance

if our evolution can't best that of the lust-driven rodents, then our machines will not be able to save us.

Let me try to push that rock up the hill one more time...please.
Animals die to survive, they hunt for that survival...humans hunt for sport...and make too much
sport of those that have not evolved as much as we, and we will eventually pay for that, when Prometheus lets go of that boulder, and it falls upon us.
philosophical musings by this reader....sorry if i am far away from where you were going with this.
