Darwin In Eternity Comments
Darwin was a creationist
with parents who insisted on daily ritual
and regular church attendance

I am sure this is not about Charles Darwin- the propounder of the Theory of Evolution! This Darwin through his religious indoctrination believed that he will not die and would live eternally. He thought that he should live for others as his departure would be too much of a shock to others. You are eager to know what must have happened to him. However those dead and gone continue to live in our midst in one sense as they keep inspiring us! A very interesting account!
Thank you so much, Valsa. And you are right; this is certainly not about Charles Darwin. It is about someone I met long ago. And I do at times wonder what happened....Thanks again.
the only one who could tolerate this drama his science class acquaintance........so touching and true. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.
Darwin beer The Lemonador Bri Edwards. This is shaping up to be an action adventure. Maybe I'll write a poem about it. Or even a song. As always, great work, M.J.! Definitely a 10!
Thanks, Richard. And you reminded me of Evolution from Darwin in the UK...I think it was Evolution Ale. And yes, the action and adventure.....
I love that you challenge us- - you do not spoon feed your readers- -we are expected to come with our brain cells awake and alert and acquainted with deep thinking. Poor Darwin- an enthusiastic mind meets our Mj Lemon and the struggle ended with a knock-out punch delivered in the 8th round by still champion The 'Lemonador'. Good wrire, my friend, as usual!
Thank you so much, Susan! And o wow! The Lemonador....that is just too awesome for words.
'... no mention of Darwin in the history book that explained Ancient Athens the Renaissance the Enlightenment and even Tobruk' the theory of mind and search for truth, then a dig for meaning in bones from the past, Darwin declared he had no problem with a beer turning into a man in time, not years but millions of years, it seems the latest DNA and genome research is prone to disagree, changing realities in science, a flat earth at the centre of the universe to an avalanche of amazing discoveries and truth reveiling hidden layers within revealing researched subjects.
Thanks, Terry. I heartened that the beer will never evolve past its current pinnacle....Cheers, Mark
We can select the right yeast for a beer, draft, lager, ale etc; it is like the history of breeding dogs and other animals, select colour, big small, intelligence, it is now proven all dogs originated with wolves although only three dog species share alot in common with wolves, no dogs originated with hyenas as previously thought. A lot of good science goes into brewing beers and microbreweries and their prestigue markets are thrieving, some of the best beers. I did a personal study of about 200 beers while at uni, even washed out the bottles, varhished the labels, arranged by brand type and percentage of alcohol around the house, it was kinda fun a long time ago. We must continue to believe better beers are coming :)
what am i supposed to be inspired to do now? i hope it does not take effort! which Darwin is this about? there are some similarities between my life and what this poems 'says', unless, of course, its words are not to be taken literally. i'm not a 'metaphor person'. in my case, there would be 'too much trauma' if i did NOT depart from Earth. bri ;)
Bri, Wow. Did not think this could be your story. But this is indeed based on an actual person. This takes me back to my youth. As a kid I knew a Darwin who came from a strict religious background. I shall not mention his last name, but I recently thought about Darwin. I wonder what did happen to him?
