LIFE

                    How was it what’s material, mechanic
                    Evolved to what’s now living and organic?
                    There must have been a primal vital force,
                     Good Orderly Direction, as its Source
                     That we have now personified as God,
                     Who elevated us from lowly sod
                     And whom, we hope, has greater plans is mind,
                     That we’ll evolve into a higher kind
                     Of creature manifesting sapience—
                     The crowning glory of intelligence.
