Beatitudes ... or Evolution?

I was just reading New Science
About all the natural processes:
Great, great complexity formed simply by
Basically real simple rules.

Line up the black and white tiles,
Set up an algorithmic loop,
Say the word “Go,” and from the inside out
Life spreads out just like a pool.

Perfect, determined and random
Chaos controlled at the center
Species share all the same traits
But no two the same in the genus

Not robots, individualism
We’re judged by the way we adapt
With kindness to those who are different
But hellions would ethnically clean us

Springers are usually high strung
Labs are sweet and laid back
Chihuahua’s stubborn and helpless
Setters, Retrievers run crazy and long

But each dog just like snowflake
Unlike any other
Survival has nothing to do with it
Runts have the same rights as the strong

Whether we live or we die
Isn’t determined by might
Random occurrences all have their day
What causes deformities then?

Who bred the thorns into roses?
What angels fell full of lust?
Which giants mounted our women?
Is Mad Science coming again?

If we’re persuaded by demons
That they’re our only creators
We have no recourse … so do we lie down …
Because they’re smarter and bigger?

Natural, selective and racist …
Kill off the weak, useless eaters …
The master race misread the weakness
When they nailed that Jewish Nigger

Rome still remembers the day
It had its way with the Lord
Wield the sword, die by the sword
By their own hands they will die

Humble will one day be raised up
The last will be first, first are last
Beatitudes or evolution …
Which will we learn is a lie?

Whose parents in human history
Were sufficiently not like the apes
To give birth to a human baby?
An ape makes an ape makes an ape.

What we don’t know means to hurt us.
There is but one, only one Rulemaker.
The court of his justice is ready to try
The crimes against nature … when white Eve was raped.

You can not make me choose. But you already made me bow. You have such a great blog.
