An ape with a faith.
Quite hard to articulate
Sinning means losing in the long run
or not so distant future.
I don't want to sin
I want to get into Heaven -
Or the Next Stage of natural selection
We can call them both ways, for they are the same.
...
Am I good enough for you, Evolution?
Do you love me
Am I in your image
Am I going in the right direction
Am I closing in on perfection

Or am I too distorted
Too dumb and misguided
Growing further and further away from the branch
The branch that gets to keep growing

The branch that leads to heaven
Is where I want to be
But it’s not like we get to choose
So who is there to blame?
