Our Evolution

If everyone had the mind of Stephen Hawking

The heart of the Dali Lama

The physical prowess of Lebron James

The fortitude of Rosa Parks  

We would still divide and destroy ourselves based on our perceived differences  

For in comparison to other beings in the universe, we have similar idealistic aptitude.

The dissipation of our ignorance occurs in correlated evolution

With the decline of fear of each other.  As we bath in our contemplation of what others could do to us, we prevent the progression of our super-organism by self-sabotage. 

We do this with the adoption of mythical checks and balances

To perceive a sense of order to corral the uncontrollable threat of trusting the collective

With the potential of the unknown for the identified terrors of the present

Given complaint, we choose requesting spiritual-consultations for application of justice

We hunger for Order in the pastoral flatness of urban battlegrounds  

Science is breaking the bonds of limbs to show the weapon of the brain

Cosmology is bursting the limitations of galaxies into those seeking the universal

To see grand interconnected scenes to see reciprocally out physically

As we see inward spiritually; peace, harmony, balance are found in such ways   

We see the universal in ourselves and the power of our volition,

Not the overlord of the universe controlling us, but a true democracy of wills. 

Our bodies are resistant, modeling our genome into the ladder of sustenance

Afraid of immortality, of indestructibility, of conquered cancers and viruses

To bear a world of seven-foot men who can do summersaults

Ethnicity is dissolving into the only humanity to what has always been, but disassembled 

Our logical expectation to reform the puzzle from bus benches to water fountains

To tree limbs to college applications to glass-ceilings to contraception to oval offices

As each trunk breaks the trees appear as twigs into the giantess-forest we see growing with us

As our minds are ascending, yet  

We pervert this progression to continually point firearms in a circle of wariness

The enemy is not an alien; we are only as strong as our weakest link

The vulnerability of insensitivity to the lowest is tethered to the ghastly judgment

From the highest and so, we limit our totality in such ways  

So in, this interconnection is inescapable, as is the crux of choice

As we each accept the self-responsibility of ration we liberate our potential

Only in this do we evolve.
