La Poesia
My thoughts
It is widely agreed that early man communicated
through a combination of grunting and visuals. Slowly we evolved until,
in my opinion, we reached our literal peak in a time frame roughly
spanning between Shakespeare and the Victorian Age. Since that time we
have begun a slow, downhill bludgeoning our language and education to
the point where I believe our distant, bright future lies in a
communication of a combination of grunting and visuals.
