Notes About The Poem

The Barrel of Little Monkeys




"The Barrel of Little Monkeys" 


Gorilla warfare took a new turn,
when the children like chimps,
followed the voice of their Overlords;

they adored them once, 
but then,
some things 

can NEVER be forgiven. 

The number like www 
drew their parents in first,
and then, what’s worse,

it drew them in, 
those little monkeys
out of the barrel,

shotgun

"Some things can NEVER be forgiven. Forgiving yourself for not forgiving, is enough forgiveness."
