We were direct descendants
Of Gods. Apple of Brahma's
Eyes and Gospel of Alla's times.
And the Sinned Children of Christ
Inhabiting Holy Mother Earth-
Around which everything revolved.
Then HMS Beagle reached
Galápagos Islands.
Darwin declared us as
Descendants of monkeys.
Such blasphemy to
Make us slaves of our own
Reasonable mind?
We could heal the wounds,
Live longer, and not just walk
But fly on in and out of water.
But how dare we live on our own
Terms now? How dare we
Solve metaphysical problems
On our own?
It was Godly to die en masse
In famines, epidemics, and
Religious wars.
How dare we associate
Ourselves with monkeys and
Fall down to newer highs?
