Neanderthal

Progressive evolution

Spawns a hybrid breed

Through natural selection

Neanderthal conceived

Barreled chest and heavy limbed

Bony ridge atop his skull

Beetled brow, immensely strong

Bipedal locomotion

Ape man, short statured

Slouching dim wit brute

Homo erectus

Modern sub-species

Packing spears and heavy clubs

Stalking giant prey

Neanderthal attacks

A migratory herd

Mammoth charges with malice

Tries to feast upon his death

Armed with a broken ranpike

Impale its massive chest

Butcher with stone tools

Carcass of their prey

Savage intention

Carnivorous feast commence

Intruding hostile cave bear

Slay the vicious beast

Snare a woolly rhino in a camouflaged abyss

Massive haul of bones in tow

Retreating to his dank abode

Embossing his icy lair

With a skull and bone complex

Slaughter for pleasure

Instinctively possessed

Killing, the symbol

Of his dominance

Skulls of fallen enemies

Crushed by scathing blows

Mastication of their flesh

Burn their bones for fuel

Human bone, cut, smashed and charred

Neanderthal has left his mark

Severed heads, disjointed limbs

Cannibalic butchery

Emerge, cro-magnon

Higher form of life

Violent, fierce battle

Neanderthal's demise
