Back to the Stone Age


O, take me back to the Stone Age.
Back to when it all made
                              some sense,
               and life was a struggle for survival,
                                                            obvious,
                                                                necessary,
                                                                      legitimate.
  There was no civilization then,
                    no elaborate culture -
                                 words were just being invented,
                                    and poetry.
                                             It was the beginning of everything.

                                                         The beginning of the Crime.
