the face of a gorilla is like yours,
when you're angry
and barking at your children,
your wife, your husband,
your mother, your father,
your grandparents,
your neighbour,
your enemy,
your classmates, your teammates,
your workmates and subordinates
as you try to subdue
or conquer them,
by appearing to be more angry
than anyone else;
your mouth frothing, foaming and mal-performing
it's indeed like your face,
when you try to make everyone
experience hell in your wrath
in parliament,
at the church,
at school,
at the football pitch,
at a city sports stadium,
in a bar,
in a kombi,
at a wedding
at a funeral,
at a graduation party
of so and so, yours.
so watch out if your beauty won't flee,
or if your handsome won't trick you off you,
as you try to be like that ugly creature,
unlike you

Yet gorillas have their beauty too, I feel, such as in pictures of them with their baby/babies.
The idea is to fight back against colour blind racism, discrimination and segregation. There isnt no room created, for a direct attack of this specie of an ape family. There is no room created to insult the being of this creature. And yet in humanity, the beauty or handsomeness of our being is lost when we try to be un-us or to be like such creatures, which in their beauty do not try to be like us.
Oh I see. Also, there is beauty in pigs I think, though some say they are dirty, smelly, etc. Though from your profile - you're not allowed to eat pork?
I do think, as orchidee does, that you have given gorillas a bad rap.....
