The Foolish Monkey And The Spaceship Looking For A Viable Planet Poem by RIC BASTASA

the white man
looks upon the brown man
sitting,

a poem is written about
a monkey with cut tail
sitting on a mountain of gold

the white man has a gun
the monkey is that barbarian

a thesis is written about imperialism
and the destruction of
capitalism

the epilogue mentions about
environmental perdition
about an earth finally committing suicide
about a few on spaceships
looking for another viable planet
