In Response to an Unfair Criticism. @WildFutures
The monkeys do what the monkeys do,
they don’t perform for the likes of you
and I don’t ask them to perform for me
they are just being monkeys
trying to be;
away from cruelty, living their lives;
not feeding people’s vanity
in a restricted insanity,
where Nature never thrives.
And if the monkey wants to sit
and quietly think on its own a bit
at the back of the enclosure,
and doesn’t want to come any closer…
well, that is what they are able to do
and what’s right for them
is that you appreciate that necessity, too.
