And then they developed
An Art of Speaking-
That made a monkey a king!
They learnt to speak
In a roundabout way,
To hide and seek while they spoke.
They learnt to mean without speaking
And to speak without meaning.
Sometimes...
They spoke more to themselves
And less to their audience around
And learnt to keep them waiting.
They devised newer methods
Periodically, more to confuse
Than to be in use for those
Who came to their asylum.
They had the art of pleasing
Both parties of a mob
In a bitterly dueling clash.
The art of speaking
Was yet to grow up wholly
It was still in its teens.
The Monkeys were up...
Up to covering some extra mile,
In their journey to evade worlds-
That belonged to cultures new and aliens.
Sometimes... They spoke more to themselves And less to their audience around And learnt to keep them waiting. A great satire at the leader monkeys. 10++ for it.
The Monkeys were up... Up to covering some extra mile, In their journey to evade worlds- That belonged to cultures new and aliens. Monkeys tried imperialistic ventures. Thanks for the nice poem.
The present day politics is for, of and by a particular class of people those who have mastered a particular art of speaking. And their words benefit the speaker in stead of those being spoken to. It's painful for every thinking animal who loves not to share a pie off these man hunters.

They learnt to speak In a roundabout way, To hide and seek while they spoke. They learnt to mean without speaking And to speak without meaning. Nice poem on politicians. Thanks for sharing. 10
