Pigmy Poem for Jamie

If I were a pigmy
Would life be more easy?
Men hunting
Birds and elephants and monkeys
Women gathering
Roots, mushrooms, nuts and berries
And we would worship the forest as the great giver of life
And hold open group discussions when there was internal strife

It sounds good, doesn’t it?
But I’m not sure it would make up for being short.
