A Madness Poem by Doris Cornago

This poem was inspired by a movie where the ape was called George, and so, does not pertain to a real person. The gist of the poem is that you can take a man out of the wilderness but you cannot take the wilderness out of the man. So, if he's an ape you've got tamed, he will soon resort to his natural instincts when sent out free to forage with his kin. A warning to those who believe otherwise. Love and life are often in crosscurrents.
