Australopithecus

Ape man, you are the past
You braved every winter
Built only to last.

Ape man, you built the earth
You saw it from infancy
Witnessed its birth.

Ape man, you gazed at the skies
Somewhere within them
You dreamt of a prize.

Ape man, we’re still just the same
We search for the answers
To give them a name.

Ape man, you are the link
You gave us the world
You taught us to think.

Again, it's good except for the repetition like in your other poem. =p



Almost all absurdity of conduct rises from the imitation of those whom we cannot resemble.
