Escapees in Yemassee

Forty monkeys got out
Of a research station today
Macaques and Capuchins
Imagine that all the torture
How they pay
The medics and the technicians
Using torture and creating pain
Alpha Genesis Research
It seems again and again and again

Getting out together
Freedom was the thing
The residents are warned to close their windows
And to bring
Safety into being frantic monkeys might
Take it out on the people
They might just choose to bite

Swinging on the power lines
Threatening to chase
People going about their day
Having in fact to face
A horde of freedom seeking
Monkeys
Chasing those who might
Be frightened or-be angry
And all of this in spite
Of
So much thoughtless behaviour
