The Bronx Zoo

Lost at the zoo-The Bronx Zoo
These human tourists, visitors-
Should be locked in here too!
But I wouldn't come pay to see that s**t-
This whole world is a zoo,
The United States is a f*****g zoo!
I can watch the human animals out on the street,
Fornicating, slapping the s**t out of each other-
Bucking off bullets from mechanized weaponry-their gats!
Ripping apart abdomens
Bullets displaced in brain cavities!
Hearts-going: pitter/patter, pitter/patter, pitter/patter
Stopped!
That's what humans do to each other:
In our zoo!
But who knew?
You live in there.
You breathe that stench.
Fill your lungs, take a puff-let it burn,
Let it all burn!
Open the cages; let all the animals out,
Open the cells and let all the human animals out!
And say hi to the Aliens
That fly in the sky-
They have front row seats!
To this human experiment.
Just as I watch now-face-planted, against the glass
Watching the Gorillas in the mist
Along with the rest of the visitors/tourists
At The Bronx Zoo!




*note: Written in ny at the bronx zoo this past sunday. I was separated from my group of friends for 2hours (cell problems) & I decided to check out the Gorilla Congo Exhibit & wait for them. After viewing my fill I laid on a bench in the cool AC to rest or read my book. I had one sheet of paper with a poem on it of Emz's 'Black Rainbow' & decided to write on the back. This is what insued & my friends arrived shortly after I finished writing. I read it to them later that night while eating dinner in Chinatown. Hope you enjoyed the effort. thanks for reading

hehe I love it...we're so savage compared to animals...interesting choice of words and the title...besides the fact u were actually there...the title fits the message of the piece...need I say more

Its so sad how we all become so jaded, realizing how the world can focus on such negative behaviour, if we just stepped back and took the time to realize why things and moments happen, then maybe we would stop being so scared of really truly loving a another human being without conditions. Random Acts of Kindness help to Pay it Forward (loved that movie). Its the Domino effect.

500 stars for you. You are an inspiration. Gorillas in the Mist a mind blowing film, one of my favs too.

You have conveyed so well the truth about the most terrifying animals of all - humans.
