The Jungle
Another day
Another person
Another saying
Another day
Another person
Another saying
Saying slipped off the tongue of the blind snake
Speaking tales of the ravenous gorilla
And how the gorilla does and does and how he rampages about
Only to come to the gorilla and discover his shame
Maybe he rampaged, maybe he didn’t
The gorilla wasn’t ashamed of his actions, maybe he was a little
But he was ashamed of the saying and of the snake
And how the saying spreads like disease
How it contaminates the minds of others
And how they spread the disease
And the only option is to unify our gorillas and to rip out the snake within our chests
And only then can we learn from our sayings
