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 it's mysteries are exposed 
To the human eye so unclosed 
Neanderthals were master butchers
