Evolved Ape
the world order became so chaotic
way after ape already evolved to a man
it’s nonsense, if you call this an evolution
the ape shouldn’t step on the earth and stand upright
the sun is a whirlpool of blaze overflowing lava
the black hole is a tundra snowstorm formation, the torrent of a glacier
that’s the difference between comedy and tragedy
is one thin sheet of paper, life and death is on the same path
don’t be hasty, when spring comes, the flowers bloom
there’s no need to force the flowers to bloom before their time
men's desire is to see the flowers in any season
perhaps, that’s why every flower
has a different shape and fall, regardless, in season
the way of men’s life
rolling along in changing seasons all different,
it’s difficult to distinguish the ape from the tree
or the man the potter made with clay?
and further, it confuses me more, because
the destination is the same for all creatures
even so, there’s no need to sink into
a swamp of unsolved problem
and torment yourself;
simply look at the day
earth circles the same orbit there’s light and darkness
when the morning comes, you’ll see the sun,
when you see the sun you will live another day,
and repeat conscious or unconscious, advancing
one more day stepping on another day.
I wonder why the ape came down from the tree
and made this world complete chaos;
in the name of mankind, apes made men
ugliest creature on the earth, made them hate and harm
each other, to sustain their lives, Oh; what wicked apes!
