Butterfly Legacy - POEM of the MONTH!


Butterfly Legacy

Consider Darwin died before adulthood
And “Origin of Species by Means of
Natural Selection, or the Preservation
Of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life”
Is never written … in a State of chaos
Hitler is drawn to a different ideology ...

~

Butterfly Effect: (with reference to chaos theory) the phenomenon whereby a minute localized change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere.
The same localized change can have catastrophic effects worldwide. The full title of Charles Darwin's infamous book is, "Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". Adolf Hitler embraced the ideology of Darwin's book and the contents therein, which resulted in selective breeding and the elimination of "inferior" races.

What legacy will you leave behind?
