Anthropology 101

Once, sat and thought, a hairy brute,
wearing not, a well-tailored suit.
In grunts and growls, he said, "I suppose,
if thumb and fingers should oppose, 
it would not be so very dumb", 
and patented the opposable thumb.

Questionable Anthropology

Scientists say we have neanderthal genes,
and that set me to wondering 
what all this interbreeding really means -
was it the result of rape and plundering?

The homosapiens made rocks into tools  
and were smarter than neanderthals by half,
but neanderthals were willing to play the fools,
and she said, "he makes me laugh".

Teaching Myself

I
Salvation is the first freedom of humanity
"*****Sapiens," self-defined, "Wise Man" from
Africa, Olduvai Gorge, the Rift Valley, experts say
Research especially why we are special: conundrum -
Every BOOK (& Bible) said we are SPECIAL, mutes (The Academy)

II
Let us not give too much to religion, nor too less
It has been a way to bind people, to overcome

Geology and the Other Ologies

Geology, geometry, biology, biography
Anthropology, psychology, geography, photography,
Psychiatry, psychometry, cartography, graphography,
So many ol-ogies and og-Raph-ies, so little time.

Yet am I studying any of them?
Not today. Today I am sitting in my lazy girl,
Watching a year’s worth of a designer show.
I have been starring at other people working like mad.
Learning nothing but as it is my day

Anthropology

This is an older piece that I found from a couple of years ago. I have more old 
goodies for those of you who are fans of mine already. Enjoy.

Speak, strange brother of mine
Darkened skin or  pale in tone,
Why do I not know you?
Together we are both alone,
Your eyes and beliefs are alien
My view
