Great Questions

Lest I forget the universe is revolving And the earth is rotating around itself Perhaps, we humans are still evolving If not, when was a man but a tiny elf? When did twenty-four hours a day make And the earth start rotating around itself How can news reports be honestly fake Nothing quite as simple, though, as it seems When did twenty-four hours a day make Are those promises in my best schemes Why are new ideas first placed on a shelf Nothing quite as simple, though, as it seems Is the universe really folding in upon itself And the oceans devouring inhabitable land Why are new ideas first placed on a shelf Great questions flood in upon my mind Lest I forget the universe is revolving And I have so many answers to find Perhaps, we humans are still evolving

Some evolve; others devolve... and the earth continues to revolve. Hope we continue to evolve; we've a ways to go. That's for sure. ~ gw

Yes, I think we do, GW. Definitely. But, I'd like to think you and I bring humanity a little further (or farther?) along the way. I never could get those two straight, and I'm too lazy this evening to look it up! Have a terrific coming weekend, friend.
