| Guess it’s quite hard to believe
|
| That we all come from the same seed;
|
| The scrub, the cockroach, and the human being.
|
| It’s hard to see
|
| How the perfection of complex organs
|
| Was achieved without an engineer.
|
| But all you see is the human eye.
|
| On top of the mountain peak, so high,
|
| A steep wall of rock,
|
| Impossible to climb;
|
| Our imagination is left behind.
|
| But, there is
|
| A firm slope on the backside.
|
| And, even worms have simple eyes
|
| That help them distinguish darkness from light.
|
| And, from here it just takes a long, long time.
|
| To the miracle of the lens eye.
