Apes Gone Mad

Why did they come down from the trees?

Apes Gone Mad

 

Why have all my apes gone mad?
Why did each climb from their tree
for the life of a cloth clad
walking, talking refugee?

 

Isn't it much more than sad
that my apes could never see
all the worth in what they had
in their forest roaming free?

 

Each girl, mother, man, and lad
throughout their bad history
slowly evolved tad by tad
a grave disability.

 

Now, they share a concrete pad
underneath the deep blue sea
shielding them from super-rad
radioactivity.

Each girl, mother, man, and lad, throughout their bad history
slowly evolved tad by tad, a grave disability.
These two lines're amazing one and hey, you reminded me a movie "THE RISE OF THE APE'S" Hope you've been too watched that movie. That's a nice movie. Your this theme's totally based on that movie i think but in your way. You made this your own. It's a totally perfect and a complete write this time. I don't wanna say any editing or cutting in this write, i love it as it is....

Its you know A Thoughtful Poem too, we can learn and know something newy from your this beautiful and a thoughtful write.
Keep writing more stuffs.

Thanks for you detailed review, Inspiring Writer! In their own minds, Apes must view us as somewhat disabled. Why do we build houses when trees will do just fine? Why do we build cars when it's more fun to swing on the vine?

[Inspiring Writer]

Your welcome as usual, "Aethereal"!
Yeh, you've said good that In our mind, in human's mind there's always a pic. of something that they see and what they want to see..... but As we all know very well if we're "Homosapiens" then Apes're "Anthropoids".. and yeh, they view us as somewhat not EXACTLY disabled ...
Then allot of questions arise from your this thoughtful statement...like

1st.. what's the reason behind it ?
2nd.. If they can do what we do but why can't what we still do ?
3rd.. where's that weak link... ? (is it in their blood or are their Harmones let them pressurize to do that all > ?
and like so on.................

Now come to your first question...
-Why do we build houses when trees will do just fine that all ?
Ans. { Firstly, i'd like to say, this's a very nice question even i didnt' get such a question ever in my mind even not after read your this write too.... }
Apes, the first i can say it's because they belong to this family "Hominoids"... but we don't.

We build Home, Houses, Buildings and forts like so on...then what makes diff. b/w human and apes... ? It;s the same... "DISABILITY"!
Humans hormones don;t have that factor by which they could live on trees and so on yeh, they had... human had..but it’s too many decades earlier... but some species became more develop and some couldn’t... our species’s also from one of ‘em..... .it’s well developed now and there’s no disability order so that coudn’t do anything in wider...
We can live on trees too but we live at homes ....why... !!
Because of our “Well developed genes” which help us to make diff. From Apes.... if we start to live on trees then WOULD APES BE LIVING AT HOMES... ?? ( A question arisen from here )
No......

Never... this’s cuz.... Our ancestor first evolved bipedalism, then we evolved a bigger brain and more flexible hands. Our hands differ from those of apes. We can touch the tip of our thumb and the tips of all the other 4 fingers...... and if anyhow anychanges appear in their/apes hormones too they yeh, we can say....they’d be able to live at homes too and no one’d be here to jump over the trees and so on....but it’s impossib;le ..because after a decade there Hormones development growth stopped growing up more.. and so on..........
That’s why... we build home and stay at home than tree... !!
That’s your first questions answer.... !!

Now come to your IInd questions’ answer.....
-Why do we build cars when it’s more fun to swing on the vine... ?
Ans...
we can go from one place to other but what stops us to do that via treess ?
it's the same thing called "DISABILITY"!

we make houses and homes and so on... what forces us to do that ???
it's the same but not the same which means... "HOMINIDAE" & "HOMOSAPIENS" ....

In a Nutshell, we build Houses because we don't have that DISABLITY order which's still exits in Apes... from the past few decades, Apes stopped rising more... then what's a reason behind it...?
what stopped 'em to grow up more if we human grown ?
Our ancestor first evolved bipedalism, then we evolved a bigger brain and more flexible hands. Our hands differ from those of apes. We can touch the tip of our thumb and the tips of all the other 4 fingers......

We are also the only animals on earth to start and utilize fires for warmth and cooking....But.....WE'RE DIFF. FROM THEM ONLY CUZ OF OUR SPOKEN LANG.... !

yes, we can go/move via treessss/vines from one place to other then what's a diff. b/w us and apes.... that's the only one thing which keep and maintains us as HUMAN'S WELL DEVELOPMENT after the many decades........ !!!

But HEY, If we talk about TARZAN, then i’m speechless.. lol HAHAH
But still can say due to environment... you can see in TARZAN’s hormones that he could speak and walk as a human.... sometimes it depends on an env. Too..........

Now i’ve got one question for you... :P
What the thing makes apes’ aggressive more than human ?

[Aethereal]

We're much more aggressive than apes. If we as a species self-destruct, then all those evolved changes that made us climb down from our trees would be proven to have been a grave disability. When we scan the sky for messages from outer space we receive none, and this could mean that every species that develops along our lines of development self-destructs shortly after discovering radio and radioactivity. This poem is just a call for us to understand ourselves and our self-destructive ways of behaving in the hope that we may overcome our trend towards species extinction. Apes have been successfully thriving on this planet much longer than we have. We're relative newcomers, and so far we've managed to drive hundreds of other species into extinction.

[Inspiring Writer]

Ok...
so, acc. to you, they/apes're much stronger than Humans "Physically" Or "Mentally" ????

[Aethereal]

I'm just saying that history may show that an ape's attributes, both mental and physical, may result in a higher probability of species survival than human attributes. What's necessary for the survival of a species is that species' strength, and only history is the judge of that. So far, it seems that humanity is on the path of species self-extinction. Tomorrow twenty thousand nuclear bombs could be detonating all over our planet all because of some silly misunderstanding, or a bout of insanity by someone in a position of power. When an ape goes insane he fights another ape, but he doesn't destroy the whole species.

[Inspiring Writer]

Yeh, I do agree this time with your this statement
"When an ape goes insane he fights another ape, but he doesn't destroy the whole species."
Today's world disaster's cause is nothing but we.. we humans're the cause of doing such kinda bad activities.... The reason of Negativity's too Humans... they spread love but they don't stay back to spells much Negativities than good things...


It was An Awesome discussion "'Aethereal", you're a awesome and a skillfful... i love making discussions on each topics.. with others especially when i got such a great writers a lke you... you've too knowledge and i appreciate your skills....

Well.... Nice discussion it was with you and i got something new from here.. i wish you too got something new from this discussion... :)

Hope, we'll be on other discussion very soon :)

I'll be back for this Aethereal ...This is really good ! Ok I'm back for this. Here's my take .

An ape lives a simple life high up in a tree. They have also the option of climbing down
and roaming their vicinity. What really baffling is that when decide to abandon their territory and decide to be like you and me. What made them think to give up their carefree and stress free life we could not foresee. Then they want to be like us. You know they stopped evolving right ? So they have to take the matter into their own hands. So they went to school. Ape University. Graduated with a Ph.D and master degree. The Furor thought they are superior race so he asked them to split the atom...and forever change world history !

[Aethereal]

Thanks for your review, Neil! This is too complex for most.

[Friday]

A short, thought-provoking piece. Very well penned. I don't know if Darwin really got it right though...:)

[Aethereal]

Thanks, Friday! Perhaps Darwin didn't get it right since those apes who remained in the trees are so much wiser than we are that we could not have possibly evolved from them. Such a thought would surly insult them.

[Friday]

lol. You have a serious point there I think. Poor humanity...:)
