Evolution's Endrun

No matter how resistant
Some of us are
To the truth...

The Bulk of the Seven Billion
Are Anxious About Having to Live
In a World

Dominated by Predators and Parasites
Knowing that the Endrun of Evolution
Is Not Only Within our Grasp
But overdue That's Why There'll Be
A Whiplash Effect

When we Feed Off of Humanity
At Every turn
In the lives of Every Human
Incidious Fingers in Every Pie
Syphoning Incessantly
We are Still Practicing Cannibalism
A Sorry Reminder of our Cave Past,

When We Finally Accept The Truth
That YES, We are Descendants
Of the Planet's Most Efficient Hunters,
That We are All Descendant
Of a Vicious, Scared, Brutalized Animal
That Lived Above the Fear
Of Being Killed and Eaten for Millenia,
That Resorted to Hierarchy
To Ensure Survival of Bloodlines
Like So Many Species on This Planet

When We Realize that Humans Are Natural Sharers
Who'd Give Up The Shirts on Our Backs,
And Not Vicious And Scared Dogs In Mangers,
When We Realize That Humanity Is a Fellowship
In A Community Embracing The 7 billion
We Will Stop Practicing Isolation, Separation, Segregation.

But Our Species has been Forced
To Accommodate this Animality
As We've Moved Onward and Upward
Towards the Inevitable Human World,
Where Courtesy Will BE Seen As Courage
From a World Dominated By Bullies;
Forced To Turn Our Backs on our Own Awareness,
Honor And Strength
That All Humans Are Born With
And Live Our Lives
Deprived Of Human Fulfillment
Stuck In A Station, Class, Caste
Generationally Conditioned To Deny Us Of Ourselves.

From Community Animal
Who Lived in A World
Of Safety in Numbers
Dispersed By Never-ending Attacks
From the Rest of the World.
Cat, Dogs, Birds, Snakes, Insects,
And Continuous Natural Disasters
We Dug Deep Burrows to Gain Respite
From the Constant Attacks

But we Spewed Kids Everywhere
So Concern for Our Kids wasn't Developed
Till Later When Our Gestation Lengthened
And Our Litters Shrank
And Survival of Our Bloodlines Became Priority

But That Was Of The Cave,
After Fire Forced Us From The Trees,
Which Was Where We Would Escape To
When Our Den World Was Under Attack
By Pack hunters,

We Were Vicious Enough
And Still Community Enough
To Gang up on Single Attackers,
But Wolves And Lions
Chased Us Into The Tree World.

Fires Forced Us Out Of the Woods,
Some Of Us Brought Fire With Us
And Though Weakness
Caused some of us to protect our fire from others,
That It Wasn't A Commodity that Could be Shared (oops),

Faced Murder From Those Cave-Brained Killers
Who Couldn't Figure Out
How To Get Warm On Their Own
Killed Those With Fire,
Who Were Also The Best Hunters,
Who Quickly Figured It Out
And Took The Next Step
Towards Our Human world,
We Left The Cave Behind
And Moved out To Towns In Clearing
Where We Could See The Predator Coming,
And We Put Crops In The Ground
And Stood Side By Side
Protecting Our Children
And Our Revered Seniors
Behind Walls And Moats
While The Element That Had To Steal Fire
Sought To Enslave Half of the Best Hunters
Because they Attracted Predators Half of Their Adult Life
And The Coward Hardly had What It Takes To Protect Itself

And So Cave-brain Lost Half of Their Best Hunters
Causing a Malnutrition That Hindered Nature's Agenda
And Rendered The Element
Incapable of Catching AnyThing
Other Than The Back Of The Herd Stragglers
While Community Human Used Spatial-thinking
Channelled Herds Into Ambush,
And So Lived Off Of Healthy Meat
From the Front of the Herd.

Cave-brain was Doomed,
Half The Best Hunters Lost
And The Remaining Half Dibilitated
By Disease And Malnutrition
Had No Warrior Class, Hunter Class, No Crop Growers
Doomed To Death UnLess They Could Corral
The Energy of the Able-Bodied Spatial Thinker...

TO BE CONTINUED...
