Neanderthal Man: A poem about a modern phenomenon

For those unfamiliar with the term, Neanderthal man was a subspecies of humans that lived in Europe and Asia from around 400,000 to 40,000 years ago. In this context, the word ‘man’ is being used as a synonym for human beings.

In theory, this subspecies is long gone. Nevertheless, when we see how some people behave during modern protests, you must wonder whether this is true.

Don’t get me wrong, protesting is a valid form of making your voice heard in any democracy. People are entitled to protest if they feel they have a genuine grievance, and their voices are not being heard.

Where I do have a problem, though, is when protest descends into violence, vandalism, and destruction of property. I think that’s unnecessary. Certainly, it’s unlikely to win over hearts and minds, in my opinion.

Anyway, I summarised my thoughts on this subject in the form of a poem, which I thought I’d share with you, dear reader.

It’s just how I see it. You may see it differently and that’s fine. We all have our opinions on these things.

If you like the poem, feel free to share it.

Patriotism poem to get you thinking

I’m always fascinated by the reaction to displays of patriotism, particularly by the mainstream media here in Britain. It usually involves subtle mocking or sneering, and rarely is it considered a noble thing. Perhaps that’s just the way it is here.

However, what’s wrong with people feeling a deep sense of connection with their roots? What’s wrong with people feeling a sense of belonging and pride in their nation?

Surely, patriotism fosters unity, strength, and a collective spirit that uplifts everyone.

I’m not an enthusiastic flag-waver by nature, but I am quietly proud of my roots and it’s certainly an important part of my sense of identity.

Anyway, having given the issue some thought recently, I wrote a patriotism poem to reflect how I felt about it.

I hope it will get you thinking about patriotism a little.

Poem about mistakes and why they’re important

We all make mistakes, and they can be frustrating.

Let’s face it, mistakes are inevitable, at least occasionally. However, remember this, mistakes are invaluable too.

We learn more from our mistakes than we could ever learn in a classroom. Every mistake we make is a lesson in disguise, offering us insights that no textbook or training could ever provide. And these are lessons we’ll never forget.

Mistakes form the basis of that valuable commodity known as experience.

If we embrace our mistakes and take the lessons from them, this is how we develop mastery in whatever we’re doing.

A willingness to embrace mistakes is what separates the average from the exceptional.

You too can be exceptional if you’re willing to make mistakes and learn from them.

Never fear mistakes. They are your best teacher.

To help you reflect on the points made here, allow me to offer you a poem about mistakes.

Poem to Celebrate the Working Class

In a world driven by ambition, and big money, it’s easy to overlook the quiet strength of those good people on whom much of society depends. The people who make a difference and without whom nothing would work. In short, where would we be without the working class?

The working class, also known as the working poor or blue-collar workers, refers to people employed in occupations requiring either manual labour or modest levels of skill, often with limited financial resources and social mobility.

I don’t think such people get the credit they deserve for the contribution they make. So, in today’s poem, I thought it was time we honoured them.

These people are the hands that build, the minds that create, and the spirits that persevere through challenges most of us will never see.

Today’s poem is a tribute to those unsung heroes.

They deserve recognition, and they deserve more than they get.

Let’s take a few moments to remember ordinary people.

Poem about the need to be businesslike

Here’s a poem about the need to be businesslike.

You must always be businesslike in everything you do, especially if you’re a creative person reliant on agents and advisors. Never assume people won’t rip you off. They will, if they’re given the chance.

Easy money can tempt even normally honest people, should they feel the need.

Never take your eye off the financial ball. Failing to do so could prove very costly.

Poem about the dangers of Internet dating

Today I offer you a poem about the dangers of internet dating.

We live in a world where bringing together lonely hearts can be tricky. This is why internet dating was invented. However, lonely hearts are vulnerable and can be easily exploited.

And if something can be easily exploited for money, it will be. Internet dating can be a minefield for the unwary.

When looking for love online, you must be very careful. Always be conscious that if your relationship is conducted solely through cyberspace, you have no idea whether the person with whom your interacting is genuine or not.
