Here I am in the jungle, Eating blueberries and plant seeds, But then the ground starts to rumble— The sound of a hundred soldiers charging for me. They come at me from all sides, A hundred foreign objects storming my land. A primal fear stirs inside, But I cannot run; I must make my stand. I roar like a strike of purple thunder— The men don’t stop, unbothered by anything. Did I make a mistake, a blunder? I feel like a misunderstood king. The men have stricken me down, They cheer, reveling in the battle being won I know in the eyes of my troop, I’ve lost my crown, But it speaks volumes— a hundred needed to defeat one.

100 men vs 1 Gorilla
Here I am in the jungle, Eating blueberries and plant seeds, But then the ground starts to rumble— The sound of a hundred soldiers charging for me. They come at me from all sides, A hundred foreign objects storming my land. A primal fear stirs inside, But I cannot run; I must make my stand. I roar like a strike of purple thunder— The men don’t stop, unbothered by anything. Did I make a mistake, a blunder? I feel like a misunderstood king. The men have stricken me down, They cheer, reveling in the battle being won I know in the eyes of my troop, I’ve lost my crown, But it speaks volumes— a hundred needed to defeat one.
This poem was inspired by the debate that’s going on around TikTok about people debating if 100 men could defeat 1 gorilla. I wrote a poem from the gorilla’s perspective.
