A Poem About What Makes Humans Unique

When I undertook to answer
My own 1927 self-questioning:
"Why have humans been included
In the design of Universe?"
My hypothetical answer of 1927
Was, and as yet is:
What impresses me most
Is the experientially demonstrable fact
That all living organisms
Other than humans
Have some organically integral equipment
That gives them some inherent
Physical advantage
In coping with special environmental conditions--
A plant that can and does thrive
Only under dense Amazon
River jungle conditions--
A bird that can fly beautifully
While in the sky
But which cannot divest itself
Of those wings
While awkwardly walking--
The fish having equipment
To extract oxygen from the water
That dies out of water.
Common with many creatures
Humans have brains.
Brains of humans and other creatures
Are always and only
Coordinating and memory-storing the information
Reported to their brains
By internal and external
Sensing devices
Regarding each special-case systemic experience.
But humans are given mind's access
To objectively realizable mathematical principles whereby
Humans can produce their own wings to
Outfly all the special-case, integrally winged birds.
In addition to their brains
Humans have minds,
Possessed by no other
Known organism.

Weightless, nonphysical minds
Are concerned with discovering
The interrelated significance
Of all-time humanity's
Thus-far-experientially-discovered
And experimentally-verified inventory
Of ever-experientially-redemonstrable,
Only-mathematically-expressible
Cosmic design laws
And of those laws' governance
Of the multi-alternative freedoms of realization
As mathematically incisive,
Omnirational, variously magnituded,
Structurally associative and dissociative,
Nonsimultaneous,
And only omnicomplexedly intercomplementary,
Always and only overlapping episodes
Altogether essential
To eternally regenerative
Scenario Universe.

HUMANS:
IF
Successfully evolved
Physiologically, psychologically, and philosophically
From their born-naked,
Helpless-for-months,
No-experience state
Of absolute ignorance
To be progressively educated
As driven only by innate
Hunger, thirst, procreative instinct, and curiosity
Into initiative-takings
Can thereby discover frequent errors
Of assumption, identification, or execution
Wherewith, if the individual's innate courage
And sense of the importance of truth
Are greater than the sense of pride
Of the individual,
Error is admitted
Thus only inadvertently uncovering
That which is true
Which discovered truth may prove to be
Both physically and metaphysically
Inspiringly advantageous information
Suggesting ways of progressively improving
Physical life-support systems
And their environmental realizations
Together with their operational information agenda
Whereafter, encouraged by experiencing
The ensuing, more favorable environmental circumstances
Accruing only to their ever abiding by the spontaneous
Self-admonitions springing intuitively
From their innate love of the truth,
The thus-inspired individuals
Persevere with integrity
Throughout some hundred thousand generations
Of such only-by-trial-and-error conditioning
With each generation's intermatings
Of those mutually surviving
Under the evolving environment
And mutually educated exclusively
By such artifacts-accomplished,
Creative conversions
Of negative into positive circumstances
And through those regenerative matings
To concentrate the DNA-RNA,
Exclusively angle- and frequency-controlled,
Structural and mechanical design programmings
Of the creatively imagining faculties
And their corresponding crafting dexterities
Which with their inventing of words
Their metaphysical tools
And electromagnetic-spectrum
Communications accomplishments
Might in time
Attain and sustain
A semi-divine level
Of exclusively artifacts-realized,
Creative design wisdom
Adequate to render the cosmic environment
Healthily supportive of all humanity
THEN
Shall humans discover
That they have been
Included in Universe
To function:
First, as local Universe information-harvesters;
Secondly, as critical information-winnowers;
Thirdly, as generalized
Patterns-and-principles discoverers;
And fourthly, employing those principles objectively
To serve as local Universe problem-solvers
In support of the integrity
Of eternally regenerative,
Only overlappingly inter-episoded
Scenario Universe.
