In That Land.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

In That Land....



in the land of
the monkeys

the monkey is king
the monkey is beautiful
the monkey is right
the monkey is famous
the monkey rules.

and what is man?
in the land of the monkeys
he is nothing.
he is a deviant.
he is strange.
he is a freak.
he is an experiment.
he can be explored and
used and junked.

simply because this man
is in the land of the monkeys
and thus he is nothing.
