Apes—different

A balding ape
Grayish chest
Hunched shoulders
Reflective mood.
It strangely mirrors
Our inner ape unleashed
by a violent society
And its unbridled passions and hate!
How different the two!
The jungle apes follow certain order
And ethics of their tribe/troop
Never indulging in wanton vandalism or rapes.
The urban apes bring the jungle
And apparent lawlessness
Into a post-industrial culture
Making the latter species
Most dangerous on the planet!
