We come from such humble beginnings.
  Earth, water, wind, god's spit and the sun;
  stir into a cosmic cauldron and a pinch of
  Darwin for the atheists and in eons
  mankind emerges from the sea and marshes
  and swamps until we come onto shore like
  guppies and master land and build empires.
  We learn how to wage wars and destroy those
  weaker and unlike us. We colonize the world
  sowing the seeds of hatred along the way and
  are shocked when they reap the crop and ****
  us as intruders from long ago never forgiven.
