Listen to poem:
As I wake up in the Stone Age My first feeling is relief Gone are all the troubles that I had I know that I won't last too long When my medication stops May not make the end of life too bad First to find some berries Other produce from the trees Survey the situation, to catch fish In the ground there may be tubers Other roots to use for food If I live or die may also be Gods wish Animals I live beside Would be my last resort They would make a better friend than foe Make my cover from the old ones As they passed away Surely as we're born, we have to go Then I pause to wonder Am I on my own Or is an Eve beyond the rolling hill You never know your fortune And finding peace at last You can make a life, if just you have the will
