Poetry – Apes playing cellos

Apes playing cellos

 

Apes playing cellos,

Painting masterpieces,

Wondering about the stars.

 

Monkeys walking on two feet,

Asking questions,

Writing novels.

 

Chimpanzees who talk,

Laugh and cry,

And build bombs.

 

Gorillas who dance,

Love to kill

And control the world.

 

Primates who mastered science,

Enjoy sunsets

And dream of conquest.
