Analysis of Evolution
I am a dry leaf falling from the big branch
I am a dead root being extracted violently
I have been a child, I am an adult, I changed
I am a bird falling from its nest in the ranch
I am a dirty feather flying inauspiciously
I have been a little girl, I am a woman, I aged
I am a bee who stings a child sitting on a bench
I am a wing sticking on his hand permanently
I have been a foetus, I am a human, I evolved
