Is our evolution a Greek tragedy
Tales of success and stories of sorrow
Borrowed from one generation
Transferred to the next
And the Dna cycle goes on
Loss after loss
Providence expanding
Families disbanding
New lands conquered
New deals bartered
Proteins become Amino acids
Amino acids become DNA
Light sensitive cells
Develop depth and width
Four fingers find the fifth
And we expand the breadth
Of breathing distance
Between us and our species of origin
Oh the stories that could be told
Of love, and ***
Of love, and loss
Of birth and death
History unfolded
But the tragedy is
That it is all history that
We managed to miss
We only piece together
Small pieces of people and animals
Play the game of clue
To glue and deduce the truths
Which are swirling in a muddy bowl of
Unwritten stories
