Evolution - A Monkey's Perspective

Many stories I’ve heard from men,

Of where we originated.

But none was so interesting

As the one told by a monkey:

I’m better than men, it said.

I take care of my kids.

I ain’t like some crazy teens,

Dumping babies in bins.

Many men with lots of fruits

Would rather they go to rot;

Even if little boys beg till morn'

For a bite to soothe their guts.

I once strolled past a school,

Wedged myself beneath a stool,

To listen to the latest follies,

That catch human fancies.

Ape begat man, the teacher said.

Evolution it's called, he further expressed.

Briskly I shook my hairy head,

And in fury stamped my stubby feet.

For I know so well,

We’re way different from men.

Living Fearlessly

There are few artists as fearless as the comedian, who in spite of his wet palms and dry throat, climbs up the stage. He opens his mouth and disappears into an imaginary world. He then reappears - bringing out the unusual, the weird, and the outright hilarious.

Who is the one that lives in the present if not the comedian who must laugh at himself whether he stands or falls, receives stones or praise, rotten eggs or applause.

Who is stout of heart if not the comedian, clawing at rocks with bare hands, digging wells with bare feet, carving wood with bare teeth, mining a smile from a lifetime of pain.

Have I half of your fortitude, dear comedian, I will be on roll through the divine street, riding on a chariot of wind.

On the Subject of Believing

"We believe what we want to believe; it's what we do. Shut one's eyes tight, or open one's eyes wide. Either way, one's a fool!"

This free audiobook is for such.
