Humankind Orphaned

 

Undeniably we remain one of nature's

works in progress, the draft plan

having undergone many spontaneous

alterations from primordial times to the

present and look, we are still evolving.

Nature has patience and she does not think

in terms of her creatures' lifespans for in

the vast time and space that she has 

dominion over we are but the briefest of 

afterthoughts.Who knows, really? She might 

even in that brief focus on humankind's

complex blueprint, have envisaged a tame

cooperative spirit somewhat like a colony

of bees or of ants working studiously together

for the common weal, and indeed her humans

have themselves on occasion expressed such

admirable intentions of emulating those

far lesser creatures. Hers is a busy agenda

however and such details must inevitably

escape her notice as she turns attention to the

much larger order of orchestrating fascinating

events in her vast universe as a whole, only

occasionally returning to the minutiae of which

humans are but one example. And having turned

that attention upon that agonizing evolution might

have muttered a plague on that disorderly house.
