We still know not beyond a shred of doubt How this existence chanced to come about. Until to-day we cannot truly tell If life developed from a single cell. What could descend from dolls of kneaded earth? How could an accident cause life and birth? The trrrto-date believer understands That his Creator had no need of hands. The honest scientist is the first to claim That theorizing is a guessing-game. Life gapes a greater jig-saw puzzle Than mortal brains may hope to muzzle; For no true picture can appear, Until the Last unknown is clear And smoothly fitted seam by seam Where it belongs within the scheme. All those "lo read the "Origin Of Species" Are bound to relish Ihwwin's subtle thesis: His law of "Natural Selection" shapes Our ancestors not unlike hairy apes, But none has ever found the "Missing Link" Where cousin ape has crossed the human brink. We lack the means to probe or demonstrate The basic theories we formulate. The hidden mysteries of life, Those hallowed secrets of the ages. Escape the keen dissectors knife, As they eluded former sages; But uncontrolled imagination Goes on to torture a poor brain Without a pause of relaxation, Until the mind may go insane--- Unless one comes to the conclusion That everything is sheer illusion- Because of a disgusting irk At nature's most unkindly quirk That every creature has to eat Or be another creature's meat, In struggling hard to stay alive Where but the fittest may survive In order to select the best By killing those who fail the test. The fittest zebra fell the lion's prey, If breezes blew his ambushed scent away. (To be continuéd next week) or sf (Que are Americans who really believe Canada Is wen ALL.
