Survival

Century 1...

In the zigzag of forests,

Navigated to his whims, following noises

Nourished by Cresses and Carcasses

Good health was his asset

He feared and worshipped nature;

Cared for none, or cared for all,

Communcal gatherings: An everyday affair

-Sing, dance, sleep and live well.

Century 20....

Inundated by rules,

He Navigates through harrowing lanes:

Nourished by false prides and bills

Good health being his biggest wish

He clears and ignores nature

Cares for, but only "his"

Social gatherings: A reserved occasion

-Planned, targeted and earned.

Survival it was then, Survival it is now;

Differing by what, when, who and how?

Oh, yes, we have evolved

Adding layers of garments

To cover every true selves;

Enabling communications across oceans,

Silencing our inner voices
