Primordium

Mountains touch the sky
The winds intensify
Rock is turned to sand
The sea torments the land

Lightning hits the earth
A momentary column of fire
A thunderous roar
As the molecules begin to ignite

Breaking up the atoms by electrical shock
Molecular prosperity
Fragments recombine in a molecular lock
Solar radiation helps to break them again
Molecular fertility
Increasing their complexity so life can begin

Rise from the sea
Four billion years of evolution
Changing life on Earth
Building better organisms
Elimination of the weak
Proliferation of the strong
Insemination of the planet
