Analysis of Back to a Paleolithic Future

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)



The time Rolling Stones music was reborn
Altamira caves display first graffiti
Fashionable hides as clothes are worn
Early humans resemble our present society

Not much has changed in current behavior
Still sharing the planet with Neanderthals
Search for peace still ends with failure
Continue living inside tagged walls
