What's Your Evolution?

A speck in the universe
The blue and green marble
A place where creatures great and small
Care not for ev'ryday marvels

The highest mountain, the deepest sea
One curious creature could never let them be
This creature thought of itself, it was self-aware
Yet didn't think enough to show that it cared

The end came sooner than expected
The lack of foresight soon directed
Where they went next
This was the product of their evolution

An enigma soured by the years
Too short for a sense of scale
Too long to make each moment count
What did it mean, after settled dust

Alarm bells pounding through a collective head
Get it together or wind up dead
Their hopes always turned to this or that
Always whining like a spoiled brat

Inches of time move by like a generation
And soar through space like solar winds
Not even asking about the contemplation
That comes from all creatures within

A sun could end it all eventually
The moon came about incidentally
The distance is far enough
Life came about because of it all

A swirling of meaning conceptualised in the mind
Broken nothing but the silence of thought
And soon enough that silence returns
As exactly as it ought
