Evolution's Perfect Flaw

Brushes dusting the hard bones of the earth
Sediment and rock locked together since times immemorial
And as human flesh touches the relics of its ancient past
Images rush into evolution’s mightiest creation
Of times uncertain and dark
When our mightiest victories were won
Brain over brawn, 
The seeds of freedom, embryonic liberation
A revolutionary species playing its part
In the circle of life
The very form of life which lives today
To dominate every aspect of the planet
As if, invincible
And yet, there were many before
Whose bones lie deeper,
In the bosoms of the earth
Mighty creatures, who once
Like us, ruled the world
And yet evolution’s masterpieces
Roam no more
The forests and marshes of old
lie in immortal slumber
Seeds beneath our exploding numbers
As we see the banners of civilization 
Flutter in the ever blowing winds of time
A day will come, when life will see us,
like others,
As evolution’s perfect flaw.
- Abhijeet Manay
