Evolution

Evolution / What a marvelous phenomenon
Diversifying every aspect of life as it goes on
Socially / Each generation undergoes modification
Offspring inherit certain traits and survive through adaptation
They learn basic lessons from their guardians or parents
However, character varies depending on their environments’
Study the way a child was raised a half a century ago
Contrast then and now / How will our children grow

Evolution / What a marvelous phenomenon
Diversifying every era of time as it goes on
Musically / All songs used to have an expected outcome
Now listen from start to finish to some of today’s albums
Revert to the beginning of simple jazz and tin pan alley
Then venture through blues, rock and roll, and country
Study the origins of the music you’ve come to revere
Compare then and now / What similarities do you hear

Evolution / Uncontrollable / Irrepressible
Does change really occur, or does it revolve in a cycle
Adjustments are made, but it doesn’t correlate improvement
Technology is up to date, but people could use development
Individuals still lust, envy, and cause gore
Lie, cheat, loathe, steal, and more
The stories are recorded / History is preserved
Music relays the time / Patterns can be observed

Inheritance / Variation
Survival / Reproduction
Competition / Reduction
Scarcity / Extinction
