Homo neanderthalensis A physically impressive species
Long ago, ancient ones were all foes
Struggle to survive Systematic cannibalism Pushed to Extinction Anatomical beauties / monsters
A flattened cranium with a heavy brow ridge above large eye sockets Higher muscle mass, wars among the proto-humans will last
Evolution's created perfect butchers It's the lawless extremity of nature
Butchering — the half-dead wallowing in their guts Cutting the carcass in half starting at the pelvis Cutting haunch from loin, rump from haunch
Separating the shoulder from the shank as close to the joint as possible Sawed-off limbs quivering on the ground
Shank for chop meat utilizing neck meat
Cutting through nerves, arteries split in two The sound of slicing fills the air all around
Immersed in butchering, precise disemboweling
Ribs away from spine, separating chuck from the loin.
The pre-human butcher is obsessed with the bedimmed procedure The epic ambition of this work is to separate flesh from the soul Thick fat away from chops
No signs of charring, the flesh was eaten raw Skinning their own kind, cannibalism within the ancient tribes The skin will come loose from around the meat
The skinned carcass was stripped of meat and marrow
Dead trees seeing all the killing and skinning and cleaning and gutting that hath been done This is the dark side of the pre-human coin
Never its mysteries are exposed To the human eye so unclosed
