Ape

Hairless 
Ape.
Thinking 
Ape.
Eons in the
making.
Struggling to
understand.
Understand its
place in things.
Understand how
It came to be.
Understand what
being even is.
Time passes
ideas arise.
Competing ideas.
Ideas on all 
matters.
Waring ideas, 
establish power,
establish 
dominance.
Ideas held high.
Held high
as ultimate truth.
Naked Ape
just out of
the wilds
yet 
convinced about
creation, 
convinced about 
Its place. 
Convinced on
 how
it all began.
Self impressed 
with what
 it knows.
Think it knows.
Naked Ape
has not a 
clue.
Has not a 
clue,
about ultimate 
reality 
 living
In its
delusional 
little world.
