Was there ever a time when humanity was
unaware of the need to be frugal in the husbandry
of vital resources lest there come a time when
famine stalked the land? Where primal focus
was survival it was not only the fittest who might
endure intact but those that took care to forage
diligently discovering herbs and fruits of the land
to sustain habitation each in their assigned portion
of a great wide macrocosm. This neat and tidy formula
was not the archaic recipe that nature in her wisdom
endowed her offspring with but in a spirit of mischief
instead she inculcated in their genetic network a
fierce antipathy to others similarly endowed.
Traits the ancients in their wisdom knew well
cautioning against coveting what is justly others'
to have and to hold, a true injunction of the spirit
of surviving in amity that humanity has since time
gone by to the present assiduously flouted in
favour of assaulting justice and mercy in the
spirit of territorial competition and conflict.
