Evolution #2

Evolution #2

I've heard we swam the ocean
As just a single cell
And then our cell got cancer
Which changed it very well.

We multiplied in number
But, yet, we swam as one
And then deformed our bodies
Until a fish was done.

But Nature wasn't satisfied,
It changed our fins and tail--
Mutation even changed our lungs--
For Land we then set sail.

And so on through the ages
We sometimes found it best
When we survived because we were
So different from the rest.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
