A Viewpoint of Man
There are numerous theories of the origin of man
Opposing viewpoints on how he began
Perhaps through evolutionary stages man evolved from the chimpanzee
Carelessly swinging on parch branches of his family tree
Or by way of Yahweh's omnipotent hand
Created in God's image woman and man
To have dominion over all living things
According to the parable of Adam and Eve
History has chronicled the rise and fall
Of a faithless species disobedient to civilized law
Seeking to answer where he has gone wrong
Man continues to erect a self serving image to conceal his flaws
The present condition of the human race
Steep in confusion and rising at a dangerous pace
Returning to our original debate
I ponder if man is a creation of a supreme being
Or, a befuddled creature of lower intellect than the chimpanzee
