The Wildebeast

BANG!

a figure cloaked in golden red

swayed to the silence.

The swaying turned into dance,

a twirling rhythm of golden red.

This golden red movement grew.

Mesmorised, the figure danced.

Whirling in and out of view,

a shaped existence against the white.

the golden red cloak streaked long,

against the white.

Whipping back and forth

The dance grew

Sparks flashing light

the figure twirled on in silence

Attune with colour,

whirling against the white.

Violent and tranquil

The silence persisted

Seeping into consciousness

The wildebeest awoke.

Painfully white. Sparked awareness

the figure cloaked in golden red

Stopped his dance.

The wildebeast bellowed.

Urgently, the beast struggled

Trapped.

Overwhelmed against the white,

blood leaked out.

The bullet wound was just too deep.

The lectures on domestication have been extremely intriguing. I always considered how agriculture came about, and I had always imagined it to be for the better. To have the shelter of dwellings as security for the outside world and also storage for greater amounts of food produce, increase the population. It seemed logical and practical to settle in a domesticated village. I always considered a successful population is one which has the greater numbers. These assumptions have been in contrast with reality. Once switched to an agricultural lifestyle it would be near impossible to convert back. After many generations as a village, they lost their knowledge of hunting and gathering, limiting their diet to one of less variety and nutrients that that of the wild; harder work efforts to cultivate the land; vulnerable to famines in unproductive seasons; increase in disease spread through living with animal; weakened sense of community by overpopulation and sense of personal properties rather than that of the hunters and gatherers ‘sharing everything’ outlook. Therefore my new found conclusion is that life is better lived through quality not quantity. The hunter and gatherers were happy, sustainable and had extreme cultural ties with the land, each other and other tribes.
