faulty darwinism
chopped and chewed and swallowed –
down we go
on eternity’s throat,
one bite of salty clay after another
to be recycled
and become the burnt sienna skies
of some obscure tomorrow.
fate chimes its eyelashes
like some odalisque her coin belt –
the boatman’s pockets are always full
with tradition’s eye seals.
we are but stairs
for humanity’s pretended
e-volution,
we circle meanings
like eagles circle unseen angels
up-above,
without ever touching them,
we live to ignore
and ignore to learn
the reason why history is repeating –
and talking tall
we show our real essence –
the spoiled mud flowing in our veins
keeps bringing bitter smiles
on god’s resigned mouth:
ever non-grown-ups, these earthlings…

Evolution doesn't happen to help anyone. Every creature has limitations they cannot evolve out of, although we have had one interesting journey from our single cell progenitors. Like one of the Greeks said: "The only people who have seen the end of war are those already dead."

this is a powerful take on the laws that define life and survival ...the expressions are powerful as usual and the meanings are deeper than the oceans here ...I like the downward spiralling undertones through out this piece and the essence that captures dawrin very very well ... the poem opens many lines of thoughts and offers much more for the reader . I am sure ech time you read it , you shall see it in a new light ..... bravo is the word ..

Physical evolution is over! Mental evolution and spiritual evolution are going on at a slow pace. After that perhaps human nature may change for the better to create new history...!

Ah... Knowing isn't enough, understanding isn't enough,even acknowledging isn't enough. The change comes with becoming. It's not enough to admire the thing, you have to be the thing.
