Protest the hero - Palms Read

As often as always
Evolution is crawling from the sea,
Alive with urgency like suicide, like suicide
Convinced the grass is greener on dry earth

The march of serrated utterance like a soft cough muffled murmur
Sneaking through the lecture hall.
The crawl across the island,
The sound of wave's embodied water sprouting legs as loud as a gallop,
Cuffing down on ground against the cries of gravity.

All the young people who took a leap without faith
Into a riverbed that drowns about as much as it saves.
All the young cowards acting out for the brave forever hurled
Into the waters of their indifferent graves.

Belly-up, half buried in the sand,
Extend a hand to the smallness of death.
Understand that only dying is this colossal,
Creation shedding skin to find a perfect equilibrium like fossils.
For a million years, raise your glass in cheers
We will never answer where we came from only how we got her
