Intelligenter Design

Suddenly, the genes were hashed,
Whose codons made the proteins clash,

Which, in turn, made quite an occurrence,
Assuring the young offspring's endurance,
 
For this mutation kept it alive,
One step ahead, in the game to survive,

For it was faster, stronger, smarter,
or else it was an early starter,
           
Surely, it would in turn, pass this on,
Creating more superior spawn,

Throughout time and random chance,
These worthy features would enhance,

(Good thing the starting population,
Was 10 billion in the location,)

But alas, this destined one,
Died and it was all for none,

A weaker one chancedly took its place,
Which makes no sense in any case,

Passed on its genes instead of the ace,
Mocking the strong with "In your face!"

And now we wait for the next mutation,
A million years in expectation,

And folks, they learn with one eye open,
Blind to the whole other different notion,

And from what I see, 

5 billion years were not a lot,
For the evolution of human thought.

    I always find it interesting when science is injected into poetry. Well done. Nice flow.

    War, hunger, poverty. We still aren't the brightest animal in the universe. Has human thought evolved? Vince
