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!
