BETTER A FREE MONKEY
THAN A PET GORILLA
If a person loses there mind every time
If a person loses there mind every time
they bash against an immovable wall,
not only would their head be flat and small,
their mind may start to think about
why walls are built in the first place,
why they grow higher, deeper and never shrink
and what it’s actually like to be a zoo keeper.

keep all the animals inside....nice title...there is truth in that for sure...those walls are getting ever higher....
ReplyDeleteThe thing is there is an answer to the who and why it is that makes us think our differences necessitate walls but 99% of the population hasn't figured it out yet Brian.
DeleteThat might explain the shape of my head.
ReplyDeleteExplains mine Charles, the older one gets...
DeleteDidn't realize you were 100% pacifist. I prefer peace always. But prefer struggle to fascism. Keep testing our metal. 💜
ReplyDeleteI am not 100% pacifist Cloudia but I have seen the result of enough violence close up and personal to know that my weapons by necessity is my last resort not my first, and i do not answer an insult with a knife nor a rock with a bullet.
DeleteAnyway, "pet Gorilla(s)" end up sequestered behind bars far from the pet OWNER because they grow into an inconvenient truth of nature.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of sausage in the Morning, it smells like...Breakfast!
ReplyDelete(Loved your mini diatribe)
Fry me some prosciutto in some eggs and mushrooms and now were talking breakfast Galen.
DeleteI too love the title and I hate being a zoo keeper ~ Have a good week Mark ~
ReplyDeleteGrace when it comes to humans I often wonder is it them inside the fence or them outside the fence actually in the zoo? I have a fence all the way around my property and i wonder who is observing whom?
Deletesame action, different result??? yes, if you've hit your head against the wall often enough...
ReplyDeleteI had to have the crown of my head touch my shoulders before I finally got it Shadow.
DeleteYou are a wise man, my friend.
ReplyDeleteNo Karen, I am not, a wise man would know how to stop the divisions and premature death. I do not have an answer for that.
