| I Don't Know - Do You ? |
| Circa 1990 |
Once upon a time
We climbed from primordial slime.
Was it one cell, or two,
I don’t know, do you ?
Well - at most just a few
Then universal gravity
And bacterial activity
Combined with celestial majesty
and a dash of divinity
To provide an environmental facility
For elemental simplicity
To achieve bio diversity
Overcoming planetary adversity
And then
With an IQ of one
We just lay in the sun,
It wasn’t much fun.
Binary fission, no sex,
Life was just not complex
Then an IQ of two,
We advanced very slow- …..
ly you know.
An IQ of three
We resemble a tree,
No brain yet you see
An IQ of four
Is really no more,
But what is in store?
An IQ of five,
We are well and alive
With a will to survive
Then six, seven and eight
We begin to relate
Nine, ten, then twenty
We’re moving with plenty
Of acceleration with time.
Now we abhor the slime
From whence we came
Without even a name.
Now, with an IQ of fifty
We’re getting quite nifty.
Walking unbowed
with our head in a cloud.
We keep on evolving,
While the world keeps revolving
In annual perambulation
Around our life giving sun.
So, how do we progress ?
By decision,or guess
Was Darwin right ?
As we see the light
Does genetic mutation
Spawn evolutionary progression
Or does biblical begation
Support fundamentalist creation ?
We are becoming so clever
There is no endeavor
To which we say never,
But are we good or evil ?
A god or a devil
As we take control
Of the world that we know
I don’t know, do you ?
Then, exceeding an IQ of 100
We’ve arrived, and we’ve plundered
this earth - next the moon, planets, and occasional star
For nowhere’s too far
For our universal gaze
And self centered malaise.
Where next - an IQ of a million
Imagine
All questions have answers
Except perhaps
WHY
I don’t know do you?
