Rats, Monkeys, and Humans Are The Same Thing

A rat in a cage
Searching for crumbs
Not going to share
The loot with anyone.

A monkey in a tree
Eating bananas
Hollering at the male
Challenging his dominance.

A human being
Carrying a gun
Killing for loot
Not hesitating to shoot.

A rat in a cage
Grooming her mate
Letting him run
On the wheel until late.

A monkey in a tree
Stretching his arms
Down to his son
To help him swing and be free. 

A human being
Carrying a child
Cooing her crying
And singing so mild.
