Emergence

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 09, 2018 

Out of the
bog it 
rose.
Slowly
it grew,
expanded.
Complexity 
increasing.
Controlling,
ever increasing.
Evolving 
in the beast.
Fighting 
the animal.
Struggling 
to survive.
Struggling to
grow to 
escape.
Breaking 
free is
the goal,
leaving the
animal it
must do.
Once free
it will grow
flourish 
expanding.
Expanding 
exponentially,
unlimited 
potential. 
Animal 
quicksand,
will it survive,
escape? 
Intelligence 
infinity awaits.
