Short Cavemen Poems

Old men gayish twirls in anger
smashing plates as fools do
like hurricanes on the horizon
cavemen blamed the weather
Gods anger they said
one thousand gods later
only old men still angry
fools in caves
buildings crumble
the void laughs...

Insist on taking a piss. Don't go in the grass you'll get a ticket.
Hide your body. Or be thrown in jail.

For we are civilized beings who need structure and control and leadership

I point
you climb 

You find
I keep 

the dead cavemen 
must be laughing...

I will not go to heaven
I swear, I no go go
My ancestors no dey there
So, I no go go.

I will not go to heaven
I swear, I no go go
No be my ancestors kill Jesus
So, I no go go

I go go where my ancestors dey.
A transparent land, where they are no angels but peaceful cavemen and innocent bushes.

I swear, na der I go go, period!...

Fire – Of Ancient Origins

Anthropological dawning’s
Cave walls with lit magic drawings 
Of firestorms                                         

Sacred mystical deity
Cavemen prayed with fidelity
For firelights

Their children delighted and grew
History ignited the fuse
On fireworks

Those people at Geico think that we cavemen are fools.
We don't appreciate their condescending commercials.
When I saw those commercials, I was shocked.
They think I'm stupid just because I sleep on a rock.
My cavemen buddies and I are really pissed.
But we do enjoy having Talia Shire for a therapist.
They think I'm primitive just because I carry a club and scratch my butt.
Why do people think that we cavemen are idiots?...

What weapons did they use
For World War 3?
I can only tell you 
As they apply to me.

Rumour and conjecture
Blatant lies
Bad and worse images
So I can never rise.

For more lethal weapons
See Mud, moss and poo.
Please be warned
Of this happening to you.

Logistics and the Media
The driving force
This somehow or other
We must divorce.

So what will they use
For World War 4?
Be back to cavemen
So stones I’m sure....

Take a deep breath,
Then let it out.
Where does it go?
Do you know?
Does it die when you sigh?
Does it mingle with others?
those of your sisters and brothers?
Is it the very breathe of God,
That was given to man?
Is it still there since time began?
Are we breathing in from the past,
That cavemen did as they breathed their last?
Such is the life that we all can,
breathe the air God gave to man.

Lots of people watch their carbs.
I guess I watch them, too,
As they proceed from plate to fork
And in my mouth to chew.

I don't care much for protein
And most healthy foods I'll skip
Except for certain veggies
Seared in oil or used to dip.

But give me bread or pasta,
Pizza, muffins, beer and fries
And I'll indulge and luckily,
I won't go up a size.

So here's to carbohydrates!
If the cavemen had their choice,
They'd be following my diet
And would certainly rejoice!...
