Insatiable Desire

In our souls, an insatiable desire resides A force compelling, where reason often hides A primal instinct, hidden deep below Millennia of evolution, it's hard to overthrow Man and woman, our ancient kin Yet modernity's journey did begin Acknowledging our past, beyond mere bones and art In the quiet of our minds, we find a different start Evidence, the bedrock of our quest In every facet of life, we request But in matters of faith, when shadows take flight Perhaps that's where we falter, in the absence of light We emerged from the Savannas, hairless, and free For many, this truth might not sit easily Yet reality relies not on feelings alone In this beautiful tale, a brutal truth is known Extinction, not the exception, but typically the rule In the grand tapestry of life, the relentless school So, embrace the urges, accept the facts As countless before us, in reason, we'll react Conscious creatures, from the Savannas we rose In this fleeting existence, our time swiftly goes Let's cherish this life, our transient abode In unity with nature, let our spirits freely unfold
