Evolved Morality, Part Ii

...To me it seems morality
is what holds us back from the edge,
what keeps us from just destroying,
and leaving all enemies dead.
But more and more I think that it
was not some product of our mind,
but a product of evolution
that developed slowly with time.
Since no predator can stop us,
since we defeat even disease,
did we evolve our moral sense
to check those who act viciously?
Were the ones who killed unrestrained
killed off by their own aggression?
Were those first real moral stirrings
what kept folks from being undone?

Were the humans who lacked such thoughts
winnowed down, soon too few to breed?
Did evolution select those
able to resist killer creeds?
Is that why so few people now
have those brute, psychopathic brains?
Are those people just leftovers,
from a strategy now disdained?
If so, it means our moral codes,
are not something we made ourselves,
but just evolution’s response
to minds that can make living hell.
It wasn’t some higher calling
that kept us all from being wrecked,
morality is nature’s way
of keeping our species in check.

A Restless Cold Night

Hey World!
we all have moments when we need the help of someone else, 
elsewhere we're just out there, 
suffering in the silent struggles of self. 
it's not selfish to be self reliant unless it makes you self centered. 
At the center of one man's island near the gates where the lonely entered. 
The entrance where the hindrance of arrogance commence to make sense of our bull. 
So, who owns the bull that took a  on my lawn? My lawn was fertilized till they burglarized the rise of my dawn. 
By the dawns early light, 
I was tired from the fight,
between the need of a good sleep, 
and a restless cold night.

Something From Nothing

Something from nothing
Hey, world! Can I ask you a quick question? 
Are we expected to just fantasize until reality ties those self-induced lies to the truth?
Believe that nothing will produce something when nothing is something of a noose! 
Isn't it something or maybe it's nothing and I'm just making a little too much of it?
Like if all you ever ate was the very things you hate, at some point over time, wouldn't you find that you're beginning to love it? 
To get used to the smell; to crave the taste, to feel it is somewhat of a necessity.
A comforting food, a calming mood, when the ways of the rude are getting next to me.
So maybe it's nothing that I made into something, now my nothing is something valuable!
Will it grow like an addiction, bring science into my fiction, until my nothing is the only something I know.
So if you're asking about something; I might just tell you... I know nothing.

Evolved To Die

Not my God
Not my saviour
Not my love
Not my pleasure
we could have been better
but for humanity
imagine free
and what we could have been
too late
no time to fix
just dust
sitting on bricks
pride before our stumble
lost our humble
none to hear the storm rumble

Love Evolved From Trust

Diving deep into the depths of her soul,
I knew I would love her forevermore.
Smiling shyly, she left love in control,
seductively sighing, desiring more.

Golden sunlight gilded her honeyed locks;
like spun silk, gently blowing in the wind.
We stepped outside of time; no need for clocks;
regrets or forgiveness, for neither sinned.

We felt our two souls melding into one:
now there is no 'I' or 'me': only 'we'.
We no longer desire to find someone:
for the moment, I found her; she found me.

It is no surprise, love evolved from trust,
but so did hope, defining love from lust.

Impulsive Thoughts Are Evolved

my thoughts prefer to travel out my mouth and back into my ears before being processed by my brain, or another’s brain, as they spread their seed during this process, 

sometimes others are aware of my thoughts before or at the same time as me, as their ears catch the sound before mine 

an advance thought life form seeking to survive outside it’s host mind .

seems they’re evolving as they have worked out how to survive longer and beyond the local area or mind. 

Most people process thoughts inside the brain, never allowing the stupid thoughts out, killing them instantly, whereas my stupid thoughts appear to be advanced life forms able to defy this system.

They have evolved

Meaning, even my stupid thoughts are clever!!!

We Evolved At a Furious Pace

We evolved at a furious pace.
Oh, how noble we are as a race!
But why are we here?
The answer, I fear,
is to always be stuffing our face.

I Have Evolved

When I began to paint canvases, all of my girls had
one hair color, they were monochrome.
I was fearful of trying anything else.
Timid.
Hesitant.
Unsure, not wanting to waste supplies.
Canvases are expensive.

I shocked myself the first time I decided to
try two colors.  That was four years ago, but I
remember the agony it caused, as I deliberated
about wasting an eight dollar canvas.

Today I have put together a girl with five hair
colors, and I am deliberating about adding a sixth.
I have painted five such girls in the past week.

Evolution is a beautiful time, and experience
makes you daring.

Disappointment Evolved

He read history, and wanted to change it,
joined it, and changed nothing.
And then he dreamed he took command.
The skies might open,
doubt would disappear,
a silent score could sing.

Technology, however, never could compete;
there was no measurement to lay the bounds,  
no need to charter aid
for that was an implicit realm
someone
somewhere
sometime might understand.           

His history is now.

Evolved

Evolved
Written By:  D. Collins 10/28/14

There are a lot of people who’ve been married for years.
Then, suddenly find themselves in a world of fears.
The world has evolved while they were at home.
It’s a different story when that marriage is gone.

They soon feel free, and start hitting the streets.
Naïve to predators that are in it for “me”.
They refer to “dating” as if they are nineteen.
But, the world has evolved to being ruthless and mean.

Everyone is hungry, and everyone is a “mark”.
Evolution stepped in to get at all o’ ya'll.
After marriage know the world isn't the same.
Know that people you date are trying to upgrade.

Think “mark” before romance and you’ll have it solved.
Absorb this crash course on how the world evolved.

Words Are Evolved

Words are evolved from sense so they bear sense

Evolved From a Wish

Drawn by rage and afraid to be free
Withering like roses sunk within the sea
Believing in what my heart teaches me to do
Telling me to act out and show them what my mind knew

Scared to pursue what I was born to do
I can't believe the opportunity I almost blew!
Someone or something wanted me to get out there and pass!
Being in Law Enforcement at last!

My dreams do come true if you first dream
Dreams aren't as hard as everyone makes them seem
I want to make a difference in people's lives
And stop the violence made by guns and knives

From now on I want to be "sworn-in" and enlist
I pursued a dream that first evolved from a wish
Starting at the bottom first is right
Nobody expects you to learn it overnight

Working with the best of all will rock!
On my educational journey to becoming a cop

Evolved Migration

Where as once we migrated following our food
in an attempt to save our endangered race,
we have now evolved to migrate successfully
into outer space.

The Evolved Mass

Have you heard a heart beat?
Do you know the value of your soul?
Or did you cover up your eyes?
Did you just throw your questions down a hole?

A frightened hold on opinion
Because it hides everything inside a shell
A book that tells you what we are
Is a mask that alienates you in your hell

So sure of what you’ll be
You ride inside the comfort train
The passengers have your face now
You bought a one way ticket to your pain

You’re centred in your anger
But you camouflage it with the sky
The raining has an answer
But you’re still safe under your lies

So innocent in envy
So graceful with your hate
You’re touching up your actions
While what’s inside just rots away

You’re sucking up your anger
It’s so perfect in denial
You’ve figured all your answers
The tape repeats them while you cry
