42. EVOLUTION

Every minuscule bud projecting from fertile clay; evolved into a fragrant flower;

intensely spreading its ravishing aroma,

When sprinkled regularly with bountiful water blended in commensurate

proportions of cow manure.

Every mystical star sighted in the cosmos; evolved gradually into the

opalescent moon,

When perceived with a perpetual vision; amalgamating the entire sky in the

condensed silhouette of whiteness.

Every bare brick coated with flimsy sand; evolved painstakingly into the

monumental building,

When stacked dexterously forming a tall structure; slapped vigorously with

fillings of piquant paint.

Every egg impregnated with yolk; evolved assiduously into an innocuous

fledgling,

When provided conducive amounts of heat by its mother; nourished in entirety by her blood.

Every hillock of silver sand; evolved into the mammoth mountain with steep valleys,

When the mighty wind deposited a conglomerate of mud and debris on a daily basis;

thereby changing complexion of the inconspicuous pile.

Every wave of the tiny river; gradually evolved into the gigantic ocean,

As it onerously flowed confronting a plethora of bulky branches and stone; finally linking with the frosty ocean.

Every bit of tentative fish floating insipidly in the sea; evolved after several years into the preposterously huge whale,

As it unrelentingly fed on a relishing meal of coral and sea weed; basked for marathon hours in full light of the radiant Sun.

Every chimpanzee inhabiting the dense forests; evolved after infinite years into man;

After undergoing dramatic metamorphosis; learning to acclimatize with the civilized society.

Every drizzle of water trickling from the sky; sequentially evolved into thunderous rain,

With accentuated accumulation of ominous black clouds;

provoking the assemblage to pelt down in fury.

And every bit of hatred residing on this earth; eventually evolved into perpetual love,

When dealt with tumultuous passion and unbiased love; a philanthropic attitude to care.
