I Envy Our Human Ancestors

I envy our human ancestors though we've come a long way from the cave They did not hunt with heavy powered rifles and to survive they had to be brave I hope that today they are happy in that kingdom beyond the sky They lived in a different World so different to you and I. From the treacherous jungles of Africa their journey of conquest began And they battled their way up the food chain the ancestors of modern man And if they killed they killed for survival and they survived against all of the odds So different to those who came after and they worshipped different Gods. I envy our human ancestors of the guilt of sin they did not know They killed creatures to eat them only and the pace they lived life at was slow But the World they lived in it would seem was a better and a more peaceful place They could not have realized their descendants would evolve to a super race. I envy our human ancestors they lived life in a simple way Their achievement was their survival and we top the food chain today We may have come far since the cave days but for progress a high price we pay And the World we live in more dangerous than their World was sad to say.
