Theory Of Evolution

cassiopeiaxneptune

With the intention of preventing
a perplexed possibility
of something undesirable happening,
one must always account
for the unknown. 

Once and for all,
one must be certain
of what is to come.

Yet the fear of the unknown
is precisely why man
shall never be evolved
into the form
of what he is meant
to become.

Perhaps this final act—
was meant
to clinch a lifetime's—
argument.

Lest we forget,
how delicate we can be. 
Lest we forget,
how fragile we may be.

After all, 
this is merely circumstantial evidence—
a thread in the fabric
of something
beyond reproach.
