Wallace and Darwin knew humanity
as a gregarious, curiosity-ridden lot
responding to their environment by
adaptation as a survival mechanism
rewarding those most adaptable in their
bold assumptions second-guessing nature.
The creating force is not so readily
interpreted even though humanity is
satisfied with their smug self-assurance
that they have reached the pinnacle of
evolution. For hasn't she unleashed a grim
surprise in an unseen pathogen whose
virulent presence is returning humanity
to its primeval sources. Avoidance of
strangers bearing unwanted gifts, a new
suspicion of advanced science, compulsion
to covet rare resources, solace in retreat
and a pioneer in the evolution of remote
connections advantaging himself into the
realm of burgeoning billions advocating
the mirror-reality of remote imaging where
humanity may now leave reality behind.
