Evolution

Grassy seas stretching farther than the sun’s rays,
Rolling hills vanishing majestically
Into the blue depths of waters unknown,
Pristine and undisturbed
Trampled and then rearranged,

Stone walls cobbled together
Rising gently upwards,
Gazing down on valleys surrounding,
Tactically and fortified
Collapsing and torn from their roots,

Wood and nails hammered together,
Cozy for a family to live
Spacious one,
Warm and snug,
Weathered and Ill-maintained
Falling apart,

Brick and plaster glued together,
Red giants and smaller children
Amassing around the globe,
Strong and safe,
Growing old
Machines clear them away,

Metal and glass masterfully held together
Reaching far into the sky,
Egotistically looking down on their surroundings,
Tall and clustered
A show of our strides forward,
“twelfth floor please”
Truly, this is evolution
