Sapiens

Have you read Sapiens?
I won't spoil the ending,
It follows the history of humans,
'til two thousand, fourteen,

First off, the cognitive revolution,
Put us a step ahead,
Then farming allowed us to procreate,
Faster than any animal e'er had,

Industry let cow births surpass our own,
Their deaths far exceed that,
Overall our survival seems locked,
Well, climate may react.

Then there's SARS 2,
That didn't exist, yet,
As Harari says, history's one path,
While the future's choice is made with each step.

The Next Revolution

Been fifty thousand years,
Since the revolution,
When Sapiens could suddenly think up,
Made-up fabrications,

This led to innovations beyond genes,
The power to gather,
In groups up to one hundred fifty folks,
Because we could gossip about others,

As time went on, we made corporations,
Evolved from religion,
Millions of people brandishing one cause,
With nuclear fission,

Now here we are,
Back to our genes, again,
Will this lead to a new common belief,
That will evolve beyond Capitalism?
