Introduction

I wrote this poem after watching a documentary on monkies and how they live. It begged to question (if you go along with darwinism) have we evolved?

Have We Evolved?

If we came from an ape, we're in pretty bad shape
It's kind of like the raisin that came from a grape
We call them an animal, but who's the smarter mammal
Have you ever seen a guerrilla smoking a camel
For argument sake, there had to be a mistake
How much prozac does a monkey have to take
But if the theory is true, our intelligence grew
So why do we do all the dumb things we do
There've been no cases filed, out in the wild
About a chimpanzee who's been beating his child
The evolution track, put us ten steps back
Apes don't steal bananas to buy more crack
I'm sure monkies would agree, we ruined the family tree
We're the branch that puts people like Jerry Spinger on T.V.
Next time you're at the zoo, here's a project to do
Go tell the monkies that they're smarter than you
