I
Homo sapiens the name is given to human species.
Whence it came when born; where does it go in dying?
No reliable answers but theories and speculations plenty.
II
God created in His image, proclaimed Genesis of the Book;
Risen in the darkness of void from five primordial soups.
So theorized Hindu sages in the Upanishads of antiquity.
III
Is there evidence? Show the empirical research if exists.
Science searching the clues for the origin of the species.
In flesh, blood and bones they look searching the genes.
IV
In vain is science searching, wrong places digging up?
From single cell to primate it became Homo erectus?
Scientists have no answers the Creationist claim.
V
The Origin of Species indicates the evolutions.
Proof is here-the Erectus became the Sapiens.
Genome mapping is complete; ending in Humans.
VI
Karma: a Hindu-Buddhist evolutionary path explained?
Human birth achieved traversing the primordial river;
Myriads of births taken from single cell to Homo sapiens.
VII
Responsible to Karma performed-good-evil or divine.
That decides if placed up or down in the salvation matrix
One is brought in as a sentient being if and when evolved.
VIII
Born a sentient being here on the planet with knowledge
Of good and evil exclusive to the sapiens, one gets to choose;
Path of dharma or adharma--Ying and Yang; two choices.
IX
A birth into the realm of Amitabha* with divine path, or
Retreat into lower genera with pains and sufferings;
Birth-Death-Rebirth; the soul carrying the past.
X
Nirvana one desires to be free of pains and suffering;
Moksha** Hindus Call it, return to Eden Jesus shows,
All evolutionary paths-- spiritual quest of the physical self.
XI
In human birth a sentient being sees the path that
Enlightens mind and opens the inner eye--A resurrection.
Not in heaven or in the hell, such opportunity prevails.
XII
Humans we are; reached on the top of the Evolution.
Sapiens we became, not to retrograde with evil karma;
The land of Amitabha awaits us right here on the earth.
