If you look back, it’s so miraculous
How all the elements worked out just right,
That this ain’t a collapsing universe,
That our sun’s not too dull and not too bright.
Our ancestors survived more than one blight
From timely, almost God-sent meteor
That altered evolution overnight,
Eliminating mammal’s predator.
Now safely grown in size and brain, we’re more
Advanced than life on other planets worse-
Supplied with water, atmosphere and light,
But our advancement makes our defence poor:
If earth were hit again, records of us
Would lie buried, read by mole and termite.
