Otto Muller from Germany
briefly in Die Brucke grouping was he
His art though a little primitive 
something a critic can forgive

Evil Manifestations

Primitive mentalities corrupt laws and nations
Destroying hopes and anticipations
Crippling future jubulations
Ushering in our devastation
Form: Rhyme

Back To the Primitive

A bloody mass
of mutilated souls
chaos born from our primal instincts
a ravaged mess
of broken spirits
eternally falling
into the darkness

Limerick: Shrinks, Part 2

Once attending professional course
Shrinks attempted to fix mind flaws
They gorged on cocaine
But primitive brain
Has failed to achieve sacred pause

Premium Member Ancestral feelings

Travel through time across ages.
The energy field is still as powerful.
Stonehenge, a raw primitive enigma.

Primitive Humans

Living on what God provides

Going day by day

No choice, but to trust God.

And they enjoy miracles.

The Modern Age

Look how far civilization has come,
Take away all of our technology and advances
And we are still the same
Primitive
Bloodthirsty
Savages
That we were 2000 years ago.

Country life outside my door.
Breathing in the bouquet of spring rebirth.
Wallowing in organic primitive respite.

The Swiss painter Emile Nolde*
used artistic  licence 'til very old
Not of scenes too local
but in visions primitive&tropical

YUK

Washing hands was a bit of a pain
It seemed hygiene had gone down the drain
In this primitive scene
They just didn’t feel clean
So I went home and washed them again

Premium Member Primative Ignorance Presently

If we could apply all of our present technology,
to the social structure globally, 
scientifically and humanly,
we would realize how ignorant and primitive we are living presently.

Gathers together admist the populate
Brightly so shines her popularity 
Masses gather to see her pageantry

Primitive Minds

Prime-ary Standards.
Behind every actor.
Smiles in grief.
Like the fake styles this week.
In silence there's screams.
We're all lost.
In the onslaught 
Of lost thoughts
way beyond god
and material fashion.

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.

Translucent living Signs of a screaming wild man Brought forth thru glimmering shades Skull larger than norm Primitive style of lost life Strangeness etches from his loins

Premium Member The Sky Is Unsettling

The sky is unsettling tonight...
we need rain
I know this--
but why so much thunder
and lightning?
 
I understand searing science--
yet somewhere deep inside my primitive
the spirit and myth
make more sense....

Premium Member What was THAT, Gramps

  Ancient arts so intriguing
    hieroglyphs, cave drawings

  Stone flints at end of spears
    two combined, a pair of shears

  Primitive though, their communication
    the imperiled art of ~ conversation

Premium Member Amazon Women

The Amazon forest appeals to me, could even live in a tree Recently heard Amazon women would make mush outta me Seven feet tall and primitive Heard some are quite ticklish Also told to refrain from unnecessary repartee
