Silverback School Poem by Douglas Scotney
Silverback School
Despite there being hardly any of them left
and the billions of us growing,
gorillas are not rare enough yet
for one to be of greater value
than a 4yr old boy.
Admittedly,
it did nothing in its favor
by dragging him around
like a toy.
Why didn't they educate him
to put a boy on his back
to show him his track?
