Quatrain of Neanderthal Wit

Neanderthal - old humans

1.
I may be a Homo Sapien,
but I think like a Neanderthal,

When I look up at the stars
I see lights where spirits crawl.

Forming the basis for my concepts
as I reach out to my fellow man,

My thoughts skip from star to
star in search of who I am.

2.
Unearthed for science, bones
that once held thoughts like mine,

Are forever placed on display
for the curious to read like a sign,

It may be that my logic has been
reinforced by the stars that are lit,

And the reason the Neanderthal
lived by his will and not by his wit.
