A Billion Light-Years In the Past

Listen to poem:
A Billion Light-Years in the Past
David J Walker
 
Star Light
Star bright
I look to you for the solution
Tonight
Are we the offspring of 
Single-cell
Are viruses invading us
In Sedulous successions
Does evolution drive intelligence 
Or does intelligence drive evolution
Star Light 
I wonder how far away you are tonight
with the solution
A billion light-years in the past?
