Evolutionary Valentine

For years I would wake up
eagerly in the morning to see
what the dreamed world had prepared
for me alone as if some wise counsel
 
had inspired its construction
which I was charged to uncover
before sleep snuck back again
but what is all the mystery about
 
if there is nothing hidden there
which comes to seem more credible
fear or love if you consider
the slow evolution of goodness itself

from its purely mineral conception
through the slavery years of its youth
and still the whole world stacked against it
