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!
