Evolution = Progress

Beneath the veils and petty skirts of mystery
believe me Uncle Bob, lie mother lodes rich and fuming
which hardly anyone can touch
if the pre-destined time has not yet arrived

Still, every so often comes an awakening
a stirring across the orbs
an unpretentious, unstoppable curiosity
which lifts the curtain that is the fabric
of the leaden weighed hems of science,
and oh boy, watch out! The world will never be the same!

Such restless stirrings begot Darwinism
which reasons on rotating species
such vexing curiosity begot the science of relativity
the sciences of military industrial complexes
the sciences of x rays and atomic fissure
the sciences which probe and plow exponentially
which affords us leisure and the secret formula of Coca Cola,
and well sheathed belligerence, and not to mention ---

Excuse me, what was the question?
I'm afraid we're getting a little ahead of ourselves
