Survival of the Friendly

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS


Survival of the Friendly

 

Darwin claimed survival of the fittest

Ruled the evolutionary track

But survival of the friendly is another road

We can trace millennia back

 

Competition breeds a stronger race

For a fierce and brutal tribe

Cooperation leads a different place

For a strength that grows inside

 

The one way feeds the body

The other way feeds the mind

The first way suits the animal kingdom

The other suits humankind

 

In the days of the primitive man

Our species had to be strong

But in the time of space technology

That approach is often wrong

 

On the scale of planetary health

If our species is to thrive

We must all of us work together

To enhance our chances to survive
