Modern Day Hunter Gatherers

Modern Day Hunter Gatherers By Sara Kendrick and Dane Smith-Johnsen God's great world was so well planned. He created nature and subsistence for all. Before cattle feed lots and grocery stores. Man as hunter-gatherers roamed earth's land. Respect for nature and life sacrifice was taught. Early on in mankind's life- Those men have been gone for days on end. I have cooked the last of the prairie hens. If they don't come back soon the food will be all gone. I have been hunting for miles on end. To see if there were some nuts, berries, or small animals in dens, Trying to gather what I can to add to the stores Before winter comes and scarce will be the food source. Those hunter-gatherers won't come again. And if they did, modern day gatherers would win. We've got guns, traps of steel. Competing with us, they'd never get a meal. They may as well face it and stay away!

I am sure the hunter gatherer exists in western society - it is the person who works to support their family, maintain their house, gets the best bargains, looks for the most comfort, eases their loved ones pains....look around you.

Interesting idea, although I'm not sure a hunter gatherer still exists in western society. nowadays we can just grow the chicken as fat and plump as the consumer will pay for with white meat breasts too big to support the poor bird's bone structure. How's that for respecting nature:(

Interesting thoughts for the reader to ponder. Yes, our world has certainly changed. God is still at the center of everything, in that there is always hope. Keep on writing. Thank you for your kind words on my poem. Karen
