Right in the bin

Quick musings on creation.

Right in the bin

Do you see an object, anything at all

A laptop, bicycle or basketball

The textbook you used to take to school

Or the deepest end of a swimming pool

And think how much went into its creation

The trial and error, success and damnation

The plans and patents, administration

Centuries of creative proliferation...

..led to your bedroom window, look out to the sky

rest your eye on a butterfly fluttering by

on a creature of no design from you or I

So then how is it here, more importantly why?

Trial and error by nature, that's all there is to it?

Would we make life ourselves if we knew how to do it?

What patience we'd have if we deliberately grew it?

We red stamped the butterfly and simply threw it.

Right in the bin.
