New poem: "The Darwinian Thing to Do"

 

The Darwinian Thing to Do

 

Oh, how clever they are, these

hybrid creatures who want their cake

and eat it too, autonomy without

the responsibility; but at what point

does one stop blaming their government,

parents, teachers, coaches, good old

uncle Bob and every person who looks

at them the wrong way, slights hidden

out of sight, and take responsibility

for their own life? Wouldn’t that be

the Darwinian thing to do?
