Pornography in Caves


Describe the cave paintings Jim

In their way they are outstanding

Rough but totally original

They are nothing like any other cave paintings

Found over the last few centuries

Describe them to me

This may surprise you

As the images were highly sexual

They appear to be celebrating orgies

And are in their way highly detailed

Everybody seems to be fucking each other

There are no parameters even animals are involved

When were these paintings first discovered

In 1834 by a Swiss explorer named Muller

Did they cause a stir due to the content

Very much but the discovery was soon hushed up

Within the year the cave was sealed up by the church

It was recorded and slowly forgotten about

What about Muller

He was paid for his silence

But he wrote some poems

One especially interested me

Walls of Paradise

It describes a Jesuit priest

Discovering the cave

And using it as a place of sin

However it was never completed

And wrongly attributed to another poet

It is also known as

The Cave of the Fireflies

I have a copy of this poem

On my wooden desk

Please read it to me

It is in German

I do not read German very well

My German is stronger

It roughly reads

This magical cave is illuminated

By God’s forgotten creatures

Who have been contaminated

By dreadful tales of sin

Is that all

More or less

There are a couple of dates

And some crude sketches

But the poem gives no clue

As to the location of the cave

Do you know where the cave is

Yes I am aware of its location

Will you take me there

In time yes

Will the cave paintings shock me

Is the world ready for these paintings

Time will tell Claudine

But whether the world is ready

Is open to question

As these paintings rewrite history
