Monkey's Mentality Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

With an intent of
Stripping off all- Wives & footholds-
And taking over,
A monkey measures
And measures
Father's foot mark
Walking behind father's back
And inflict on the same attack
Cognizant, subject to
The wear and tear of time
, feeble,
A defensive hand
Father could lack!

A mentor,I helped
An apprentice
Acquire a sharp mind
And a nimble hand
Till on his feet stand.

When he realized
He has ensured balance
Began the apprentice
Forward advance,
Quite strange to the behaviour
Of other apprentices.
Ungrateful he started to hurl
Acerbic remark
Aboutmy skills
Casting a covetous glance
For boss's chair a chance.
