The natural world displays intelligent creation.
The acorn shaped perfectly
To fall from the oak
And roll in spiraled strangeness,
Yet their strange paths can be algebraically defined
And thus it can be predicted where the next great trees will grow.

Meanwhile in the culture we've created,
Idle words fall everywhere,
More precisely related by the same mathematical equations
That delineate where and how often cows poop,
And who will come along to step in them.

But acorns, unlike idle words,
Are beautiful, 
And if they don't grow into big trees,
We can see that they are ever useful,
As the squirrels busily gather them
To feed on all thru the long cold barren season.

While idle words display unintelligent design, 
They are prolific, to say the least,
And if only their speakers would see clear to eat them,
Then all of us could dare to have a feast.
