Hand sewn farm patch quilt 
Primitive paintings 
Sheep, pigs, cows, chickens
Snow falling outside
My kitchen decor

Peace in my heart
Comfort from home
Backs of my teeth
Soft, warm cat fur

Girls giggles 
Time ticking
Heat humming 

Apples
Laundry 

Wine

Primal Properties

I look around at all the art I have collected
An assortment of inherited, home made and bought,
Ranging from African to Asian to Persian
With a smattering of European and American 
In paintings and ceramics, carvings and weavings,
And the quality of primitive earthy energy
Is what strikes me most.

There is a refinement of

How the primitive gain power
I don’t have a clue
They’ve no time to smell a flower
Or to plant a new
They’re spiritually greedy
And inevitably sad 
Not at all like me, indeedy
I’m an easy-going lad
I’ve no time to crave for power
Take this country, anyone
Come invade my garden flower
Tramp it in the morning sun
Here’s my ID and insurance
You can

Premium MemberThe Pepperman and the Primitive Future

I OPENED A DOOR
TO A PRIMITIVE WORLD,
AT THE VERY SAME TIME,
SOME KIND OF A BURROW

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE,
SUCH A PLACE COULD EXIST.
THIS WAS THE FUTURE,
WITH A PRIMITIVE TWIST.

THEY'RE REALLY NOT PEOPLE,
BUT A LOT MORE LIKE SLAVES.
CONTROLLED AND CONDITIONED
BY FREQUENCY WAVES.

WITH NO SENSE OF LOGIC,
AND NO SENSE OF REASON.
THEY LIVE ON THE STREETS
REGARDLESS OF SEASON.

THEY MUMBLE

Primitive Weapon

Roses are red
violets are blue
Your mouth is rubber
My feelings are glue
Why must you hate
I haven't a clue
Your narcissistic
Negative mind
Affects us too
Every time
Soon you'll find
Yourself alone
But before I go
I've got one more poem
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But your words really f****** hurt

American Primitive

Her smudged face in the bathroom mirror,
seen from bruised sheets.
The open mouths of high heels
one face down drunken, the other gaping.

Headlights strafe the curtains,
a scant dress clings to the oily back of a chair.
The room has washed up
on the grey surf of dawn.

She walks back into the room.
Her slip white as bone,
sallow skin dimpled by

Premium MemberShe Is So Primitive

She is so primitive, someone whispered.
I smirked, knowing they meant me.
Odd for sure, another agreed. Someone who never met me.
But of course had heard the rumors.

I am primal, I told them, telepathically.
But they were too advanced to pick up on it.
Too far evolved from their aboriginal ancestors to understand.
I loved the knowledge that they would

Premium MemberPrimitive Fear

I'm sorry did I wake you?
I tried to tip toe past your door.
Was it your conscience that woke you?
Or my tears dripping on the floor?

I know I muffled my sobbing..
My internal pain you can not hear.
So it must be that your guilt ridden..
From how you threatened me with fear.

Please stop, do not get up!
I just

Deep rooted symbol in the Inuit culture, the inukshuk is rudimentary, primitive but effective communication. Through centuries, it is still a practical directional marker used as vital hunting and navigation aids, coordination points, indicators, and message centers.

Youtube Primitive Skills

I’ve watched those blokes on YouTube
Building using primitive skills and gathering food
I’ve come to the conclusion so readily
To survive after the apocalypse won’t be done so easily

For firstly you need a tropical jungle to find
And having bamboo available brings to mind
This can be used for all sorts of things
Irrigation, cooking and walls you’d wing

So for

The Primitive Men

Simple, innocent and decent they were
Never timid for they were raw
Always observant
Always on their own and supportive when needed
Doing what they felt was right
No diversity in religion 
No contradictory ideologies
No rigorous search for true love
For in their environment existed real and true love
Food they had in abundance
For agriculture was their lifestyle
Then there came globalization
Bringing with

Primitive and Dimunitive

Primitive and Dimunitive

When things started out they were primitive;
Person's existence was small and diminutive;
Came long way,
Night and day;
Are advanced we must always be inquisitive.
