Scientists showed the path of evolution and
evidence disproves ancient misconceptions.
just as it denied solar progress around the earth
or the place of heaven above the clouds.

Mankind evolved from ape and thence
from more primitive forms of existence
even from what we would not term life at all.
We have become what we are over millennia.

We have evolved from thoughtlessness
through barbaric survival instincts
to a reasoning and caring being,
though with residual traces.

We have evolved and are evolving.
Despite set-backs and regional differences
we are becoming closer to what we could be,
as love of self gives way to love of others.

Yet mutual love may not be our destination.
Maybe there are more major milestones,
more steps in evolution to be taken
before we reach our full potential.


From motionless material, through slime,
through first mobility and basic thought
we have become what we are.
Surely there is more ahead.
