Evolution…

A Child with His Dada had fought,

Won’t it be cool to have a World of My own, He thought…

He cried and got grumpy until He got what He sought,

But Dada made it clear that certain rules He ought to forget not…

A hurried nod without hearing them at all, He grabbed His toy, a sweet shiny place,

With an ever burning star it was a small twinkling lit up village…

Dada had given His Child a playground none could have ever imagined,

A sand house to do-undo castles, which was enchanted to mirror feelings that He emoted…

Open for play, the Child with His friends churned in some random spices,

Out from the cooking pan came a blue ball gifted of housing zillion lives…

Reflection of His excitement was a galaxy, to envelop the ball, which was all milky,

For a while they played in Ball’s watery beds but endless blue oblivion soon got them all hazy…

So they decided to play the game which would soon be named Evolution,

A drop of microbe and it was enough to trigger a chain of reactions…

From single cell to multi; from microscopic to a giant mass,

Life as if exploded into an unimaginable survival dance covering all Earth’s grass…

Ginormous Dinos shook grounds with intensity no less than earthquakes,

Predators and Herbivores, reptiles and mammals, countless numbers of species surfaced…

Some walked the lands while some capitalized the waters,

Some remained omnipresent in Earth's atmosphere while others stood their ground and grew only upwards…

Years passed and evolution seemed to have as if stopped,

With nothing exciting to do, the “playground” got a lot boring to watch…

And then came a naughty plan, why not open up the ground and why not topple a huge rock,

Volcanoes erupted across grasslands and an asteroid tearing the sky came down vandalizing all but the small…

A cloud of burning exhaust covered Earth clogging huge ones that had managed to survive,

Mixed with a brief period of cold whiteness and the future was all set to revive…

A slow but steady process of beings evolving began all over again,

With different favorites of the game, the Child’s interest in His toy regained…

The Mammoths of yesterday were no where to be seen,

The Masters of the green lands were morphed as relatively smaller beings…

Chimps got intelligent and upright stood our ancestors,

From then on it was a new ball game as the strongest genome was ours…

Evolution went inwards as it was the brainiest that kept redefining our boundary,

While Science and Math expanded our future, economics quantified our proclivity…

In spite of million years on Man History inked in blood and sweat, triumph and failure,

Evolution once again entered into a statutory phase which every day got more gloomier…

But something was silently rewriting the parameter of Darwin’s theory,

It was Money with man and not his genome that was slowly turning evolutionary…

The Law now read as, One with the most was most likely to survive,

One with the least was most unlikely to revive…

The mammoths of the land were now those with huge cash flows,

Well equipped to outlive topple of rocks or probably even vomits of floors….

The Child made Evolution which in turn made us and now Money rides it ahead,

Now all I hope is the toy owner is a Child no more………

And all I hope now is His best creation tries to skew evolutionary parameters away from Money before He gets too bored……………………
