Evolution

[Camel]  God created man
                faith over reason
                speak to me about bringing evidence
                lies from corrupted mind
                overcoming truth in ending curiosity
                experience Speaks louder
[Lion]     Believe
                louder speaks experience
                curiosity ending in truth overcoming
                mind corrupted from lies
                evidence bringing about me to speak
                reason over faith
                man created god.

[Child]    Experience curiosity
                reason that by definition
                in truth
                thou art god.

When the Child Kills a Lion

Falls a drop
to the floor;
an echo,
nothing more.

Another.
From where though?
Is it me?
My ego?

It can’t be.
This is real,
no matter
how I feel.

So I ask
when to stop.
Say, “Never,”
My head propped.

“Are you sure?”
“As can be”
“Then just, please,
look at me.

“We lock eyes
over long
listening;
a sad song…

heard before,
in days past,
but today
is the last.

Relay this
but they know;
already
time to go.

“I’m no good,
half of you.”
“Please just act
as you do.”

“Is that right?
Forget us
move along
without fuss?”

“It will be
in due time.
You must trust
there’s no crime.”

“Disconnect
go ahead.” –
Now I live
while I’m dead.

End myself
and my soul.
Finally,
I am whole.
