Even as we speak, <br />two mice who by chance <br />have stronger teeth than their siblings <br /> <br />are mating; and one day <br />their noble line will survive beyond all others <br />by eating through the thickest plastic <br />that you thought was safe from them: <br /> <br />such is the glory of evolution <br />which the righteous kneel before <br /> <br />as the wisdom of God, <br />Who built into His glorious Creation, <br />Chance; for it to survive, develop, flourish; <br />and also, threats appropriate <br />to provide a challenge. <br /> <br />To the godly mind, all things are God. <br /> <br />So check your larder; <br />or share that divine joke <br />with a wink at your nightly mouse.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-things-bright-and-evolutionful/
