This poem’s main focus is to discuss the topic of natural selection. The author of this poem goes on to discuss how everything in this world is created by randomness, and biological need to change at the same time.

states that complex creatures such as us have evolved from more simplistic creatures over time and essential genetic mutations are preserved because they act as an aid for survival (Anon. 2002). This process is known as natural selection (Anon. 2002). Subsequently, Darwin argued that natural selection is an inevitable outcome of three principles caused by nature.
