Ascent

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jul 22, 2018 

Ascent of
mankind.
From
the 
deep forest 
of Europe,
to the
Serengeti
in Africa.
Man 
evolved.
From the
great cities
of Europe 
through the
deep cultures
of Asia.
Good vs Evil.
Rocket fuel
propelling  things
along. 
One without
the other
 would
stagnant.
Goodness not
mean enough 
to push ahead.
Evil not 
kind enough
to 
cooperate.
Each alone
would wither
on the vine!
Good vs Evil
rocket fuel.
Explosive mixture 
blasting mankind
to the
beyond.
