Gave a mushroom to a monkey

Gave a mushroom to a monkey

A Poem by Capaneus

 

    Gave a mushroom to a monkey and he fell out of the tree

    Broke his thumb on the way down and thus began society

    All the trappings

    All the wrappings

    All the comforts that could be

    But never once new the contentment he had had upon the tree

 

    Though bazaar

    He went real far

    Heights before he could not see

    And dug far down into the ground sucking blood and gold from Me

    Built a bar

    A shinny car

    And bombs like only stars should be

    But lost himself pursuing wealth instead of health and majesty
