Evolution of the Species

We stand in line for this? A two dimensional string A world with no up or down Moving back and forth only Favored by nature moving Forward and backward evolve From that blank genetic pool Favored by natural selection The double helix comes forth DNA could not be happier 3 dimensional directions expressed Next! History demands satisfaction Complex life forms call for discord After all, humans are inferior Insects are more organized creatures Sophisticated bugs live outdoors Yes! True! They might eat their young But they never go to war without reason

Hi W.A. Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it. Nature is not as natural as it looks. Sometimes it is cause for closer inspection. I still think we are a better species. We have coffee and pancakes and Christmas. Some of us even play tennis as a replacement for war. Have a great day. Earl
