Full Circle

Full Circle In The beginning of humanity there was a humble caveman Who lived in a cave with his female companion. As they Looked for food and created various weapons, their Society grew and they became more advanced in their Ways of life. They made primitive spears and used wooden Clubs to kill their prey. As time went on they discovered a Way to make fire. As thousands of years went by, men Had evolved, living in huts and using coracles to fish in Rivers. They created metal armour and weapons, so that they Could fight wars and secure land and wealth by fighting and Winning battles, but costs were very high, as people Would die to protect what was theirs. Time progressed, And men became more civilised after discovering the wheel, But now wars became bigger and the loss of life was Higher, but men's conquest excelled, primitive men Became intelligent and they built roads and buildings to live in. They were a modern society, which created governments With wealth, by taxing their people and forming a controlled Society with laws that had to be obeyed and groups of men Who became Police and enforced rules that would cost the Society money if they broke them, and inprisonment If they were found guilty, - those laws were to be obeyed or Refusal would cost people dearly. As Governments evolved They concentrated on a military force to protect the people From harm. There were soldiers who would travel on Land and sea and later air. Bombs and super weapons were Created to blow up cities and possibly the world as we know it. As the biggest invention since the discovery of the wheel was The Atom Bomb. It destroyed many lives and left the fallout of Heavy nuclear radiation around for years to come. In the 1950's it threatened to end all life on Earth, and the Threat has been real ever since. Inventions are designed to Improve the quality of life in our society, but with all these Weapons of war have we really learnt at all, or reverted To our savagery coming full circle back to our past, Were we used to exist like the primitives in the realm Of a prehistoric society fighting with rocks, clubs and spears.
