NaPoWriMo April 7th - Five Cinquain on an Evolutionary Theme


From two to ten.
The size increases,
the depth deepens,
the strong grow stronger,
the weak go further off track.

We graduate to higher levels,
we decimate,
we diminish,
we assassinate ourselves
through our ignorance.

Through our ignorance,
through our arrogance,
through our willful
rejection of truth,
we reject our true inheritance.

As we oscillate-
like loose clothes pins,
from one end of the line
to the other-
we pause for a second …

To reflect…
to reclaim what we’ve lost …
to reconsider what we’ve tossed aside…
to re-evaluate our status
as the fittest for survival.
