The Fall of Ape Authoritarianism

Today’s poem was inspired by a recent racist video that was shared by a prominent political figure in the US. Take a wild guess at which one it was in the comments.

The Fall of Ape Authoritarianism

Bared by rival knuckles on the ground
Baring baby teeth to false danger 
Wounded by a slothful pride 
Wounding all perceived as stranger
Threatened by the pursuit of freedom  
Threatening greedy life in the jungle
Disabled by legacies of alpha apparitions
Disabling lustful exploits now unbungled 
Destroyed by silicone man…
