Evolution

Evolution Green slime Alien creatures on an alien world Did they know? How could they know that they would mutate? Change from their humble lives Innocents effected by time and space Made to breathe air Walk on the newly emerging land Reign as giant creatures Cold blooded they look to the sun for life Changing again they look to the skies Looking for a god to worship They look at each other and see only differences All their sameness had been bred out of them They struggle for life Killing others for land, food or for glory Glass, metal and guns become commonplace Dead bodies are buried in mass grave There is no one to mourn the dead They are busy hunting more of their kind They make bombs that destroy cities Making each one more powerful than the last More death More dying More illness Still they do not give up making more One day, one bomb A bright light A strong wind brings winter to their planet Making life hard yet is still survives Surviving even for a moment It is a glimmer of hope that is so needed Another bomb aimed at a target no one sees The planet melts into a burning furnace Burning off the air and all life with it Billions of years pass by A new planet grows out of the dust Life finds it way back to the new waters Green slime who don't know what is coming And the cycle start over again
