Life now days
up stream of time
repeats ways and doings
lived minute by minute
in epochs and eons
open and close
up streams of time
star dust rains
and light gleaming
shines in eyes
like memories
of flowers and bees
repeating dreams
sculpt brains
shaping, shaving,
abstract thoughts
in explorations
of modern worlds
living
I found out today
that humanity
is becoming smarter
in abstract reasoning
and pattern recognition
and little else
over epochs and eons
nature and nurture
have waged war against itself
with us caught
between hammer and anvil
the striking hammer
shaping our passions
open and close
light gleaming
shines like memory
in explorations
of humanity
that's waged war
with itself
up stream of time
repeats ways and doings
lived minute by minute
in epochs and eons
open and close

of flowers and bees
