with their swabs and paint brushes
they're the ship's backbone...

Planet of the Apes - Destiny
He’s finally free,
With his mate riding horseback.
Leaves prints in the sand.

Plans to change his world,
Now dominated by apes,
Do not kill for sport.

He then sees the past,
Fallen Lady Liberty,
Unveils man’s future....

Escape From the Planet of the Apes
Midnight plus fifteen, the streets come alive,
Spilling tattooed mobs, teeming motion-blurred
From the bars, karate and kung-fu moves in car parks
And upon telephone kiosk phone books.

Kebabs stinking of extra onion, chilli and garlic sauce,
Soaking up beer and chasers, churning innards;
Chinese takeaway cartons slung in gutters,
Spraying noodles...

Intelligent Humans From Apes
That statement causes
     amusement in waves of our
       mirth and pomp and stance

Swingers and shakers
    have always hung around
      gals'n watering holes...

Planet of the apes is the now.
barbarianism bar keepers hollering last call slurs at
old and grey
homeless haired suicidal  
bastards kicking
rubbage and greed at the ignorant University students sappy and sarcastic
as they all leave at the same time from the clutch of...

D'ya know what snack makes me elate
Green or red, I'm talking about grapes

A mouth watering treat
From California, we munch on like apes...

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...

Premium Member Apes In Space
See those primates rising before the sun?
Do you suppose this is how mankind had begun?
They jump up and down and make noise on the sand.
Guarding their watering hole, they take a stand.
They join together to make a group; never to be alone.
Any adversary is beaten...

The apes are winning because they stole the fastest bike.
We are trying to keep up, but I am riding a rusty trike.
They are mountain climbing as fast as they can.
Come on! I urge my partner. Let’s be the man!

The apes are ahead, by too many...

The first travelers -- scientists, all, are tasked to find out
  how the first great ape became intelligent.

They are ordered not to interact: "Just watch!"
  "The world is afraid of changing the timeline!"

They setup a secret observation...

Happy birthday to all Scorpios. It is our season, I hope the transformation has been fruitful. I recently came out of a toxic relationship and I wrote this on this on the 28th of October 2020. Everything in my life is rapidly happening exactly how...

Premium Member Almost to the Stars
Long, long ago
in the dense 
warm
rainforest
where our ancestors
swung from treetops
in the canopy,

someone fell -
a slipped grip,
a jammed finger
or caught tail -
down, down
down

they must have caught hold
of a branch
or a vine,
or the hand
of another
of their species,
a friend in a time of need

because two hundred thousand
years later
and...

Basic Waters
There is a water shortage.
A problem the moon shines 
to introspect its tides
and how they can become still
with or without the clouds.

I forgive the engineered outrage.
Attracting everything but 
rhythm because to flow
is to sleep next to a hut
thatched with growth.

While the children 
in the village...
