You see them clutching bars
\ntheir mournfulness profound
\nreaching depths of solicitude
\ndowntrodden on the ground
\nmortified and disillusioned
\nby the morbidity
\nreally irreconcilable
\ndepressing such despair
\nand turmoil and the torment
\nit is, it is all there
\nzoo’s give us a pretence
\nthat what we see is right
\nthey saved them from the vagaries
\nof forest life and night
\nwhen life takes on a sinister threat
\nto one and all
\ntantamount to a great fear
\nwhenever there’s a call<\/p>\n
sorrow and wretchedness
\nlamentable and drawn
\na really hopeless gesture
\nseemingly no dawn
\ntheir faces lined with misery
\nchallenging what’s right
\na life of full on purgatory
\nwhen daytime feels like night
\nthe memory of the moment
\nthe silence of the thought
\nhere i am so many years
\nbehind these bars
\nI’m caught
\nnothing in the future
\nno where I can go
\na primate lost in deep repose
\nfeeling ever low<\/p>\n
save me, help me
\nsomeone love me
\ntouch me let me know
\nnobody to talk to
\nnever in the flow
\njust longing for some company
\nsomeone I can hold
\nsomeone I can cuddle
\nwhen it gets real cold<\/p>\n
somebody to preen me
\nthere’s little left for me
\nthan hope that my heart gives out soon
\nand suddenly I see
\nthe angel of the forest
\ncome for me and take
\nme off to somewhere safer
\nand I pray she is no fake<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
