As smart as a cave man

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

O I wish I could live like a cave man!

 

Able to commune with nature.

Able to know what was good or bad without religion.

Able to look at the simplest of objects in nature and identify.

Able to accept aggression and love as natural.

 

O I wish I could be as smart as a cave man!

Instead;

I live here in the twenty first century

thinking of myself as so advanced,

full of anxiety and stress.
