The Big Apple
I am evolution come to consciousness
with just enough awareness to see my purpose, sometimes,
though all that I am and how I came to be
is still far beyond me.
We've only so recently seen evolution's pattern
emerge from the darkness of our ignorance
that the very breadth and span of it
causes us yet to doubt it.
To doubt that evolution has truly
been given over to the evolved.
But, the very consequences of our ignorance
now bears down on us, and in direct proportion,
to that knowledge, for which we're responsable,
simply by knowing it.
