A Vacancy For Apes Poem by Udaya R. Tennakoon

Qualified apes
Down to earth heads
Sensible hearts
Universe seeks to everywhere
To begin with entrance
To trace the journey
Where the faults are

Cutting edge wisdom
To see the polarity
Widen inequality
Excessive greediness
Miserable consumption

The earth is still younger
So many generations to come
As you evolved in the time
The universe has created some words
Justice
Peace
Equity
Unity and diversity
To see
To achieve the dream
It has to be survived

To be leaders
To be followers
To be mediators
To be connected to the jungle
Than to the above stars

Qualified apes
Down to earth heads
Sensible hearts
Universe seeks to everywhere
To begin with entrance
To trace the journey
Where the faults are

Not as human beings, who are today working
Not as human beings who are today thinking
Not as human beings, who are today creating
Yet as an ape of their ancestors
