Adaption Over Time: Two Poems

Adaption Over Time

In a prehistoric African forest,
a child was born,
a child that walked and climbed,
that held within its being,
a soul--
a mirror reflecting
the light of divinity--
which directed
humanity's adaption over time.

This child,
this special one,
saw spread before him
the panorama
of humanity's adaption over time.

Who was this child,
this prehistoric Adam,
who reflected to humanity
the attributes of divinity?

Call him what you will,
Prophet of the Almighty,
Manifestation of the Divine.

This child--
like Adam and Christ--
was a pivotal point in history,
and aided humanity's adaption over time.

Adaption Over Time:
Poem Two

In a prehistoric African forest a child was born,
who saw in Australapithecus
(in this ape-liked creature that walked and climbed)
the reflection of Divinity.

To this creature with the human ankle bone
that roamed the African plains and forest,
a child was born,
a child who saw
the panorama of humanity's adaption
over time.

In a prehistoric African forest a child was born
(Call Him what you will:
Prophet;
Manifestation of the attributes of Divinity;
Revealer of God to humanity;
Divinity incarnated in human form);
a child who
(like Adam and Christ)
was a pivotal point in history
and aided in humanity's adaption
over time.


Poet's Note: ▼

I don't know when I wrote the first poem. The second was written in 152 B.E. This refers to the concept of Progressive Revelation.
