Intelligent Design
Could it be intelligent design,
That's granted me one tenth of a mind,
Carbon based and part of a scheme,
Made from star dust into machines....
Scaled us down so the tip of a pin,
Looks so round we can't see the end,
While being bound by a force that remains,
Not a trace or a sound but yet it restrains...
We see dawn as the universe folds,
Then it's re-drawn like its written in code,
So every sunset burns from within,
Until it resets to re-begin...
History seems to hint of a time,
We may have served another kind,
But once our purpose came to an end,
We re-surfaced and became men...
Now our makers want to be heirs,
But there's a power that's higher than theirs,
Even though they never grow old,
They acknowledge we got a soul...
