Very creative, Craig! Greed has been the root of most of the evil in this world. I'd give you a six for this if I had one left. It was clever of you to approach this write from the POV of the cave men. Perfect pairing of picture and poem. In a mere 50 words, your dribble speaks volumes.
This is a great entry for the Dribble Flash Fiction contest, and it deserves to fare well. Best wishes, Craig!
Cheers,
Connie

Comment from Bill Pinder
This is an excellent message condensed into 50 words. I believe that is true that the worst enemy is the greed that lives in the heart of humanity. Instead of a healthy cooperation, many people turn to a destructive competition. Good luck in the contest!

This is a good bit of flash fiction. Reading this leaves a lot of possibilities for the readers mi d to consider. You could do a lot with this dribble if you wanted to expand to a longer story. How the greed of mankind escalated to the point that we destroyed our species could be presented in a thousand different ways. And then, where does the new species go from there? How did they come about? But in general, you gave the reader a valid point to consider. Greed brings upon destruction. Thank you for sharing.
