I'm the topic of discussion, a lot of me is functioned

I had heard this song by an obscure artist, with a twist as it played verses 
of 'Somewhere over the rainbow, with 'What a wonderful' world entwined.

As calm as a midnight jet…

After extorting pound of flesh
lifetime humiliation drummed into captives
hammering indelible nightmare
no amount of therapy can expunge.

Lifetime trauma inflicted perpetrators wage
dead bodies littered makeshift triage
death and destruction
exhibit super fresh killing fields,
where sally...

The Monkey

A monkey posted a sign reading thus:
Do not feed visitors; they’re not like us.
They may look harmless but it’s deceptive.
They differ from us like Earth from Mars.
