Analysis of Preliterate Peoples



Untouched by progress unknown tribes
orderly survival skills scrambled vibes
daily life uncomplicated nature talks
gathering sustenance on nature walks
careless of technology knowledge wise
a whole different religion chief to advise
admiration lifestyles wishing switch
abnormal comparison jealousy rich
culture and class neighbors arrange to amass
once warring factions now civilized attractions
bare skinned minimal to wear
our culture to find city folk stare
explorations gathered information
sought by seeking out some unknown location
packing cameras to record through
natives image virgin looking view
internal heads tiny populations
animal skin hats worshipping playful decorations
the evolution from fighting into friendlier inviting
experiences plentiful and exciting
