Humans Are Not Apes
Humans are not Apes
to ape himself or others
In every human there lies
golden mine of ideas
tropical rain-forests of possibilities
deep sea treasure pearls of knowledge
Cumulonimbus clouds of wisdom
Through capacity to reason
by creative thinking
and power of imagination
unique, unknown things
can be conceived and hatched
new things that tell old ones
to sit under the shade to rest
as they create center-stage
for the visitors to ascend
to become new directors of life
Good governance is a nursery bed
oppression is a better seed-bed
human mind is a flowing river
dam it but it will create a new path
waves of creative thinking
storms of imaginative abilities
are like cough in the sick chest
they like love between the sexes
no one can dam them permanently
