Darwin's Mind

The thinking of Darwin...

Whirls man's ego like a maze.

Maybe... ***** not tadpoles began his chain,

Or, from what 'pole' evolve apples, grapes and maize?

 

The definitions from his brain,

Shortens so many hopefuls' of their might,

Dazzling damsels catwalking with minds load of pain,

For soon, beauty might evolve to piggy, monkey or kite.

 

Why he posits such live ******* drainage,

As man's origin is a misty cloud,

Like a blow of breath on mirror's image,

Which by heat vaporizes and reality dawn as cold.
