Cavemen laugh at our schedules.
We work longer hours
To support an economy (a man-press)
That thrives in a sea of distractions.
Those tend to provoke mixed reactions.
The future might hold the same
Old same. That would be lame.
Still better than a waterfall
Of P.C. apologies
And misused technologies,
Where the hive takes liberties
With us and from us,
'Til we bust.
Escape the present, dull and dreary,
Or dreaded unreliable uncertainties
To the past: truth behind a curtain of mystery,
To ancient cultures, long forgotten,
Tribes to teach us what we should re-learn.
Let's go back further, to a world full of fossils
(Or for a diversion, to fantasy novels)
Where you need only dig in to make anything possible.
That's why if you're looking, you will find
Me in my ancient frame of mind.
