We are the sum of evolution by a remarkable chance that creates thoughts that wander lost in the cosmos looking for answers to all the questions. So lofty and challenging are the enquiries we ask. But we can never be given the answers for at the end of it all we are limited by our decaying physical existence. While we know pain and pleasure and while we feel and respond to emotions we shall not evolve further. The proof of this is clear if we look, for all minds since the dawn of literacy have pondered the very same questions and all, (despite the intervention of millennial evolution,) have arrived at the same conclusions. No matter the belief

We are the sum of a creation
Made from an omnipotent will
Given pain and pleasure to...
Teach us there is a better life ahead
Gifted with a generous free will
To feel and respond to emotions
We shall not however evolve further
For we are but the puppets of heaven
We are the sum of a creation
Made evident in their likeness
Given an eternity in paradise
Knowing every day as a joy to…
Await punishment of the wicked
On the judgement day and...
Be rapturous in their torment
Or given never-ending pain in hell
If we be that which we are – human
We are the creator’s sum of chaos

We are the sum of an evolution
Hewed from rock and stardust
Breathed into life by chance
Drifting through a time and space
Living testaments to one single span
Of existence within the universe
While we know pain and pleasure
Nothing else can take precedence
For we feel and respond to emotion
That clings deep into the psyche
And we shall not evolve further
While we hold to instincts of the past
We are the sum of an evolution
A living chain that sometimes
Breaks its familial links and decays
But it matters not, for we shall not
No matter the desire to greatness
Evolve further that this lifetime
We are after all the sum of chaos
