Echo

the whale was smart
evolving back to the start
into the ocean blue
no crowded avenues

swimming instead of walking
floating instead of sitting
ruling instead of killing
everything in its domain

the one that got away
slipped back in
evolving arms into fins
evolving away from sin

so it could be free
living naturally
no technology
no need but to be

as it haunts our dreams
our cousin from the sea
sings its song for you and me
from the echo in the debris
