Evolution Explosion

Revolving around the star (our Sun) 
Hidden from earth’s line of sight 
Is orbiting something else from elsewhere 
Monitoring the progress of the DNA program. 
Assigned promising this time by the scientific academy 
Ordained by the Galactic Order of Divinity... 
A sentient species is exhibiting the signs 
Worthy of closer observation. 
All transmissions are being relayed by the Mothership 
To all the home worlds of previously successful experiments. 

I’ve been eavesdropping on them through my dreams 
Makes my head spin just thinking about it 
Instead of sleepwalking, I sleepwrite 
Which is why I keep a pen and journal 
Next to my bed in the exact same spot everynight. 

Circling around for all extensive purpose an eternity 
Learning from past failures, it has always been supported 
By the scientific community to make adjustments 
To the program to achieve the desired results. 
Ice ages, Mass extinction events, global floods. 
However, If by unknown circumstances 
The program self-destructs 
Rendering the planet 
Unhospitable and uninhabitable 
Fear not 
I have been reassured that time is on GOD’s side 
And plenty of DNA starter vials are in stock
For starting over is always an option
Because failure is just another lesson learned.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
