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.

People do get on our nerves some days, or some times. Seems like planet of the apes at times, though I don't go along with evolution.
Then again we may say 'You greedy pig', and reply 'Why you insulting pigs?'
Not so glorious here - thick snow and I have a bit of a drive later this morning - great write.
