Darwin says that we emerged
from the sea, eventually grew legs,
evolved until we got to now.
I suspect he is correct, but
I must question whether this
is truly evolution or mere change.
Perhaps it once was just as
Darwin described, changes
sorting themselves out by how
the changed survived compared
to those left unchanged and wondering.
But we have transcended Darwin,
cast him off for he failed
to evolve to our new standards.
We are the new gods, we
are the old supplicants, we
are the creators, the created
and we have not yet realized
that we are ever more quickly
devolving into the primordial soup.
