OUR COUSINS

So what do we do with
The majestic ape.
We stick it in a cage,
So that we can gape.

What do we give it,
To prove that we are great.
Leaves to eat bananas and grapes,
Perhaps he dreams of a human steak.

Then again if he dreams as we do,
To escape from the Human zoo.
Going back to a jungle no longer there,
Devoid of animal life because.
Man has torn his jungle down,
All because mankind doesn't wish to share.
