His consonants
Met vowels
Consummating
And Procreating
An organically
Carbon bonded
Birth of words

Words met
One another
Much like lovers
Father and mothering
Tangible thoughts
Structuring
New life
Into a sentence

Led by mind
Captioned projections
Designed natural selection
Sentences paired
Upon paper crafts
Forming paragraphs
A simple
Symbiotic
Collection
To make us laugh

And as the ink
To paper spilled
Silent
Invisible
Thoughts
To yield
Manifestations
Of imagination
And all beheld
With wonder
At this...
Creation.

This art form
Where letters
Make words born
And sentences
Served
As demographic
Representations
Of mysterious
Idea turned
Into a science

Until someone
Came along
With Aesop's fable
And head long
Decided it had to have
Simply just happened
To be

Giving credence
To credit the paragraph
To sentence and sentence
To word
And ever
Making letters
The better
Mechanistic
Lever
And by letters alone
Without a mind
Behind
Refuting design
We praise
The things begotten
But not the artist who made them

You give a person a lot to think about here, you really, really do, and, in many ways, perhaps, it's alright and, maybe, even supposed to be that way that the artist is seen through their creation in that God, the Father of all creation, is, himself, seen likewise.  Maybe?  I like your reference to Aesop's Fables and to just "the story" in general and Greek culture where everything and I mean EVERYTHING is romanticized and given a character of some sort and even poetry itself is credited to the muses... so, yeah, where does the artist come in??? Ha! Anyways, I could go on and on...  Like I said, you do give a lot to think about here.  Good job!  Enjoyed! Thanks for sharing!

When we praise the things created we intrinsically give credit to the supreme Artist I believe.

Good, thought provoking piece.
