it feels like we've slipped
somehow
back in time
evolution rewinds
i thought i remembered you once,
when i ideas were presented, roads were paved.
instead we've found ourselves bearing clubs.
dirty and shivering. sleeping in caves.
every ounce of sophistication
perspired through our pores
a sweltering civilization
i could swear,
...we had somewhere better to start from
it seems to me
...we should have progressed beyond this.
yet,
here we are.
dirty and shivering. sleeping in caves.
hardly matured an inch passed beating our prey over the head with rocks.
i know this is poetry and imagery and whatever else. but i think we kill people that kill people to scare people so they won't kill people. i mean true it doesn't always work, but imagine if they just got a slap on the hand. people would be out killing people left and right and there would be no justice or way to end it. just my thoughts.
