Tell Me This!

Tell me this!
Why must we stand
for profits gained
ahead of lives saved?

Tell me this!
I'm not talking about your life,
his life, or her life
I'm talking about life!

Tell me this!
Why do we have technology
for the solar and hydrogen philosophy
that's halted til it can fill our pockets
with this blasphemy we call money?

Tell me this!
Why do we take the work of the gods
into our own, appropriating
it with our own agendas as if
we know its' true purpose?

Tell me this!
Why do we think evolution
promotes ONE any thing?
Is there ONE condition on this planet?
Is there ONE species on this planet?
Is there ONE obstacle on this planet?
No?  Then why do you force it to be so?


Why tell the bird in Africa
to shrink it's beak to get
your food instead of his?

Why tell the penguin to fly
to your food source?
Why must we control who
lives and dies, and who passes on their genes?

Alas, I got it!
To control, to control, to CONTROL!
Show them only how to get your food
and kill those in competition.

TELL ME THIS!
What happens when an organism
with the knowledge as
little as the bacteria
takes on the work of the gods?

TELL ME THIS!
What happens when this organism
tells everything there's one way to live
and that way is his?

I TELL YOU THIS:  De-evolution... One species will rise, the only left.

Finally, TELL ME!
Will he eat himself, or perhaps his cash?
No? Then he better let the gods handle evolution
and give himself back to them.

To speciation, to differentiation.


Once again becoming earth's
care leaver
Instead of earth's
care taker.


Evolution never stops, we are one spot.
Like differences between cells of the body;
they still have the same unifying code.
We are the code of the planet.
Different, but still, the same.
