Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Evolution Is Man-Made, Lying Fairy Tale

Evolution Is Man-Made, Lying Fairy Tale

You feel it, know it, deep down in your flowing blood
No way, you did not crawl from the cold oozing mud
No sir, you realize it wrapped quite deep within
You have a soul underneath your covering skin
You have a kind true heart that can in sweet love feel
You hope, dream and pray and from many things you heal
Your ideas in life come from a bright thinking brain
When hurt you know, you feel that as an aching pain
Kindness and sympathy are traits you hold so dear
Your mind ponders life, love, death and yes you do fear
Do you really believe we crawled up from slimy mud
That our earth never faced that horrible flood.

Evolution is man-made, lying fairy tale.
Place your faith in it and you will end up in hell.

Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet
Nov 27th, 1971

Note: I wrote this at age 17.
I have lived on this blue marble another 52 years now,
since then and I still have faith in this being a poem about truth

J. Summers August 6, 2023 at 7:39 PM I was glad to find this one, loved the thought process. Somehow the poem reminds me of one by William Carruth called Each in His Own Tongue. John Robert Lindley August 13, 2023 at 8:01 AM Each In His Own Tongue A fire-mist and a planet, A crystal and a cell, A jelly-fish and a saurian, And caves where the cave-men dwell; Then a sense of law and beauty And a face turned from the clod - Some call it Evolution, And others call it God. A haze on the far horizon, The infinite, tender sky, The ripe rich tint of the cornfileds, And the wild geese sailing high - And all over upland and lowland The charm of the golden-rod - Some of us call it Autumn And others call it God. YES, you are correct, I can see it. Robert Robert Lindley August 13, 2023 at 7:59 AM Thank you , my friend. I will go check out Carruth's poem. God bless you my friend....

Michael Tor August 2, 2023 at 10:36 AM Robert love the ending my friend. You are so right on evolution and the consequence of. Love this one for its impact of truth. A favorite my friend... Robert Lindley August 2, 2023 at 1:17 PM Thank you, my friend. Well I speak the truth on the subject regardless if others believe it or not. God exists and he made us. WE did no crawl up from oozing mud . They need to read the Bible. God bless...

Panagiota Romios August 1, 2023 at 2:18 PM As the decades pass, each generation gets closer to Darwinism and laughs heartily at creation,.the TRANS movement gives God the middle finger.! There is neither male nor female. You know it’s a biological fact. They think it’s something laid om us by society. So they go out and change their organs. It’s beyond freaky. Children got to the Trans Butcher. Your poem showed your brilliance as an a young poet..Panagiota Robert Lindley August 1, 2023 at 3:05 PM Thank you, my friend, for the wisdom in your comment. Yes I totally agree these last 4/5 decades the world has gotten worse, gotten darker, imho. But that too shall come a day of heaven's judgement. God bless....

Sand Blown August 1, 2023 at 12:12 PM ...evolution ---> cause - effect, changes in weather, growing old, stones into sand, ice <--> water, changes in the earth, being of time, etc etc etc.....time itself be manifestation of cause - effect...whats the problem?........stan Robert Lindley August 1, 2023 at 12:25 PM Thank you for commenting my friend. Time itself cannot create life from dead matter. As is known now many scientists are agreeing the universe is too complex for it not to be by DESIGN, which indicates a higher being created it and has it operating with some kind of plan. God bless.

Paula Goldsmith August 1, 2023 at 9:46 AM A wonderful write/story. I enjoyed it. God has made it all. Have a great day............. Robert Lindley August 1, 2023 at 10:08 AM Thank you, my friend. You are absolutely correct, God made it all is the truth. While it is a matter of faith, it also a matter of fact too. Many modern scientists are turning to that realization. They are seeing it is by == DESIGN== not by happenstance or evolution. God bless.
