JUST ANOTHER GLORIOUS DAY

Another glorious day on

The planet of the apes!

 

Confined to a slowly decaying body,

Surrounded by pathetic examples of

The \'finest\' of earth\'s inhabitants,

Human beings without a clue

Of the spectrum of totality,

My lonely soul agonizes;

 

How much longer, I wonder,

Must I tolerate this sentence,

This isolation from my home

And from my own people?

 

It will be interesting to see

Whether or not I might die

Before being driven mad.

 

\"Just another mad poet\"

They would say.
