Greek Philosopher Anaximander proposed that
all life began in the sea.Allah"made from water
every living thing"And We created from water
every living thing.Darwin did not know genetics.
He also did not know about genetic mutation.
Humans and monkeys are both primates But
humans are not descended from monkeys or
any other primate living today.Humans and
chimps share a surprising 98.8 percent of their
DNA.How can we be so similar and yet so different?
Here is your answer in Surah Baqarah verse 66.
You are already aware of those of you who broke
the Sabbath.We said to them,“Be disgraced apes!”
Ape species include,gorillas,chimpanzees,orangutans,
gibbons,and bonobos.The source from which existing
things derive their existence is also that to which they
return at their destruction.

An Englishman Grinling Gibbons was his name
wood carved a cravat to find fame
Realistic sculptures helped him survive
making them seem organically alive

A hymn, see below for the tune.
Dropped golden leaves
all glowing from the ground.
Upon the tree
you were once the crown.
Fly, fly dear birds
as you must needs migrate,
yet come back safe
once more to procreate.
Weep, weep you clouds
with rain to fill the lakes,
yet not our homes
to flood, with us displaced.
Blow gently winds
to cleanse the air for breath,
but not too fierce
lest storms cause loss and death.
Come close dear God
embark within the boat,
keep migrants safe
from harm, their craft afloat.
We fallen souls
who've spoiled the sea and air
must turn around,
the harm we've done repair.
Encourage us
who surely have enough
to share with those
for whom these times are tough.
May we be held
with all that you have made,
at one in Christ
with creatures all arrayed.
Tune: Song 46, Orlando Gibbons

Alleged anthrax-laden alligator arrives in afternoon
Beyond bright baboon baby bestows brilliance
Chaste chimpanzees charge chagrined cheetahs
Doped donkeys deliberate director’s dictate
Elongated eel exasperate enormous elephants
Fruit flies flit and flutter among fruity flowers
Gravely gross gibbons gripe greedily
Hyenas and hippos are hungrily huffing
Igneous information informs iconic islanders
Jubilant jellyfish jealous juxtapositions
Kipling’ s kangaroos kill kindler’s keepsakes
Lively llamas leaping and loving
Many mammals merrily marauding
Nefarious Neverland needing new numbers
Often outsiders oversee overgrown owls
Persnickety porcupines parading in pairs
Quintessential quails quickly quell Quakers
Respite reveals rushing rip-roaring rhinos
Stolen stags slide south showing secrecy
Tiptoe through trails, tricking tigers
Understanding unicorns utilize umbrellas
Very vexing victims verify variety of vixens
Well-meaning walrus whips whippersnapper’s will
‘Xacting ‘Xrays ‘Xplore ‘Xpansive ‘Xports
Yoga yielding yaks yelp at yellow yarn
Zealous zebra zips in zingy zoo.

My neighbor is importing kids!
Broken arms and ankles are sure to follow.
The ragamuffin’s ruckus drowns out the gibbons
totally smashing my morning sit.
The cars arrived, a funeral procession,
each dropping off a hooligan to spoil the day.
I was the only soldier left at post;
refusing to sulk by hiding in my own home.
Determined nothing would move me from my peace.
The hollering became so immense
it seeped through the cracks of neighborhood doors
until peace was an unknown quality.
The skateboards with handles littered the lawns,
pray mantis’s with long arms reaching.
Re-homing sounds like a sound idea
until I’m the recipient
of all your garish garbage that you call kids.
Such a sweet name for these little monsters
and the squalor they leave in their wake.

Situations stirring like a great big bee. Finishing annihilation aimed at a tree. Forty-six fishes means a great big line. And a pool of senses is neither a slime nor a faith. In a nine centimetre goblet there is existing a catacomb of unauthorized doctrines who seek to revoke a planetarium alignment at six o'clock and a wide rancid frog belching in a corner is merely akin to a large box of chocolates waltzing on a plate. But at the high speed cycle of a washing machine there cab exist 200 drones, a purple nightie, a silver molested glove, ten drawn swords and a sparkly dagger. Omit no orbic residue from a tidally induced flood. And a flour is not a flower it is not a baking in a two foot garden. Hahahahah synergistic syndrome symmetrically symbolised stirring sap syrup. And a giant horn of a herd rising and raising a radioactive beam. Oh prison not a prism. Pickle no paint. And curve no charisma. Hahahaha to it all. Ho how much you can do that for the purpose. And a dove. Dancing. With a curvaceous cabbage. Dawn that then demon. And chop. Chip. Xxxxx gravitational gibbons giving gratification xxxx hahahahah plaid pig pointing posts. Xxxxx cinematography z

In loving memory of
Wynema Gibbons
April 23, 1964 – May 12, 2013
Elegant Angel
you’re an elegant angel…so angelic
we celebrate your life this day
as your beautiful spirit sings
telling us your love will never fade…
like beautiful butterflies you fly around us in love
with wings of amazement
for you, let’s paint the sky in doves…
we love you our elegant angel forever
although we must part ways
we’ll keep your memory alive forever…
so until we meet on the other side of the gate
we’ll be loving you in remembrance
forever and always

Trading the sweetness, a rainbow
on icefalls, you will come back on rocks
and drink the elixir of death.
A fantastic dream of soap bubbles in a tumbler,
ejecting the inky grief on the transparent glass.
The pink goddess of wealth
will descend again in your bowls. Brassica
will decide the future of grass.
The moon ride has become cheaper in cans
like sardines, unethical but sleeping with god.
Thongs were visible on steps of bathing ghats
for the benefit of bullfighters. Gibbons
indulging in aerial bombing. Comfortable
in groves jacarandas were smiling.
Unlike you I smelt the dried flowers
between the pages of history
to meet the shadows on the walls of time.
