Kin To Primates Of The Trees
By Francis Duggan
Us humans are kin to primates of the trees
Such as orangutans and monkeys and chimpanzees
Perhaps our original ancestors lived on trees though no proof of this today
Though anthropologists through science in human history can go back in years a long way
Like all other life forms we are born to die
Death as is for all living things is also for you and i
You may be the inspiration of song; story and rhyme
But eventually the Reaper of lives on your life will call time
Like the seeds of the plants and the trees the seeds of most people live on
When their bodies die their d n a in their offspring live on
Despite our achievements in science and technology us humans are mortals little else more
Our average life span in years not even four score
Us humans are kin to primates of the trees
Such as monkeys and orangutans and chimpanzees.
