Lost Causes Can Be Lost Several Times
“We the People”
"They the Monkeys"
1
three days in a row
at a zoo in washington
he watched wild monkeys
not fellows of his nation
fighting for democracy
2
they are animals
being imprisoned for life
they fought for freedom
you, humans have no reasons
for combating like monkeys
3
they are not cultured
on this democracy land
you are the people
why acting like animals
struggling for food in the wild
4
monkeys in the zoo
more civilized than humans
those fought in the house
for the dogmatic nonsense
too much blood was spilled on floors
5
villains in cities
hostile monkeys in the wild
both have the same style
whether they live in jungles
or american houses
6
where are decent men?
those who value and fight
for equality
of human beings on earth
regardless gender and race
7
you are the people
why allow a few monkeys
playing dirty game
in the name of your nation
to destroy democracy
8
it’s extremism
that makes minds blind, hearts hated
in comparison
of cultured men and monkeys
wild monkeys must feel ashamed
9
who are the people?
you or those in politics
con men on the loose
hold democracy hostage
for their corrupt emperor
10
humans in the zoo
when will they end their madness
it’s but a crude joke
dividing a great nation
democracy is at stake
11
who’s false and who’s true
whether they go left or right
it’s a roundabout
bigotry to a dead end
will they find any way out
“We the People”
"They the Monkeys"
