Man,
Who came from monkeys,
all that time ago
has evolved today to greatness.
Well, all the textbooks tell us so.

But,
I think it is quite different,
and other primates would agree.
Life was fine before we came,
and such a time they’d like to see.

For
In our ego occupation
of other  species’ land
we say “it’s mine!” by right divine,
and yet the devil guides our hand.

Yes,
It is they that pay the price
for our destructive evolution
Objectively we hunt them down
subject them to pollution

But,
Perhaps one day far in the future
When the Earth is done with man
some primates then can try again
to bring nobility to our clan.
