Even A Monkey Wears A Dress

Even a monkey wears a dress,
Even a dog loves to keep its fur fresh.
Even a cat longs for a set of new coat,
Even a horse desires to have a suit.

Alas, a woman prefers to walk nude !
Alas,a naked man pretends to be good!
Alas,a little girl is forced to be a prostitute!
Alas,heartless peoples remain mute!

How,humans are superior to other animals,
If they can't be rational with prudent sense!
Why  are we so shameless to trade with women?
Curse upon us, the worthless-imposter men.

Are you having to deal with the rainfall and the flooding? How we manage to add our sense of tone to our words - biting sarcasm, resignation, desperation ...the depth of resolve or even sadness is unique to ourselves.

Life isn't fair but it's all we have available to deal as we must. Sometimes we have the strength to be human and sometimes we have the weaknesses to wish we weren't.

I like the satire that tells the truth. Sadly there are evil men and also people who lead their life by fear.
We of faith can see right through the façade of these people.

Thank you Michael for the admiring review.
You have perfectly analysed the behavior of some people.
You have also correctly pointed out the we of faith can see right through the façade of these people.
Thanks for stopping by to grace this piece.

I love the rhyme and the color comes off as a little silly to me but hey color :) I get a strong Hindu religious feel from this because (correct me if I'm wrong) in the Hindu religion you can be reincarnated into an animal and different animals depending on karama etc. Meaning they were once human and should not be lesser than humans.
You move very nicely through the connections with the clothing but it's a little hard for me to see what exactly about humans your criticizing here. After a second reading I got it, specifically prostitution that you're angry about. I would watch a few lines. First line of the second stanza you put some blame on women and then the last line of the whole poem you place all the blame upon men (unless your using men as in mankind in which case I would suggest better wording to make it more clear that you're including women.) and the third line of the first stanza, it doesn't completely make sense.
Overall I love you humorous look at humans. Shaming us for our prostitution and thinking ourselves so superior to animals.

[Prritiy]

aha what a turn and wisely so. I thought it is going to be a poem for kids but it turns out to be a lesson for Humans(?). liked it a lot.

[zainul]

Thank you Prritiy for exploring the meaning of the piece.
I am very pleased that you liked it.
This is a humble effort for self-criticism.
We humans often fail to be humane.

[Prritiy]

you are right we often fail to be humane...... :)

My friends need to know the inspiration of my poem.
This monkey inspired me to write the poem.

You really went somewhere else with this. I will admit, the title caught my attention, and the first stanza made me think this was going to remain lighthearted, but you made it dramatically real in the second verse. Some men are worse than animals; It's men like you that prove that that is not a rule.

[Sugar Plum ♥]

so good and wise! The feeling of wrong and failures in this world become strong in the last verse, I enjoyed the original way this poem is expressed, and we have to begin with the animals.

[Allie]

Oh my gosh! You hit the nail on the head with this one. I feel like the animals should be the higher intelligence on this earth. Mankind is out to ruin itself! Great write.

[zainul]

Sorry for the delay to respond your lovely review.
I am amazed by your wonderful point about the intelligence of mankind.

A biting comment on sex-trafficking.

[zainul]

Thanks Stabitha for your review and support.
What else can we do to stop the ugly activities?

[Stabitha]

In the words of Pastor Niemuller, "speak out".

[zainul]

Great point.
Thanks.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Hmmmmm, that really makes me think. I like.

[zainul]

I am very pleased that you like it.
Thank you so much.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Your very welcome.

[Helen Crutchett]

An excellent write! Full of astute observations of this poor old world of ours. "Alas, heartless peoples reman mute! Yes indeed!

[zainul]

Thank you for the great review.
I am also grateful to you for perceiving my cause of lamenting.
Have a nice time.
