Evolution Of The Species

A Poem by Earl Schumacker

Insects are best... (not to be confused with incest)

Evolution Of The Species


We stand in line for this?

A two dimensional string

A world with no up or down

Moving back and forth only


Favored by nature moving

Forward and backward evolve

From that blank genetic pool

Favored by natural selection


The double helix comes forth

DNA could not be happier

3 dimensional directions expressed

Next! History demands satisfaction

Complex life forms call for discord


After all, humans are inferior

Insects are more organized creatures

Sophisticated bugs live outdoors

Yes! True! They might eat their young

But they never go to war without reason
