Genesis 2:7 New English Translation (NET Bible)
7 The Lord God formed the man from the soil of the ground
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Darwin’s puzzle
Witness
Me as a fish? Would I be a flounder fading into my environment
And to be resting there to make no difference?
As the unexpected pass me by often to their own detriment
Will I accept their sacrifice as a well-earned pittance?
Yet the values I set are most in mind. The heart I keep removed from that
Simply since its cause may upset my “tender” conscience
You must admit I’m a precious find in this world of bones and fat
Where I prove who I am with an "unrecognized" significance
I do not try to fake it. I am just an artificial flower
I look good in every picture but don’t need to be watered
I am the centerpiece almost like a midnight shower
To be seen afterward by my wife, my sons, and daughter
