Evolution

The waltz with death comes so early

It comes in the dawn of your 20s surely

Around that time we all stop growing

The march toward death begins without slowing

Growth does seem very addicting

Thats because death is so restricting

When we stop growing, we start dying

You can research it if you think that I'm lying

It's human nature to preserve our life

Even if it means causing other people strife

Grow big and strong, it's built right in

Along with free will and our affinity for sin

We love things that grow, that don't ever stop

It makes us feel so big, like we are on top

In spite of their sting we like honeybees

Because it's their job to pollenate the trees

Trees keep on growing until they die

They die from lack of sun or because their soil's dry

Trees that have all that they need to live

Will continue to grow and continue to give.

It's a shame that we haven't quite learned yet

To be like trees and give as much as we get

When this little issue has been solved

We'll start to grow again having finally evolved.
