POEM: Intense Analysis


Some say I came from an ape
then I was like sheep to slaughter
enslaved and treated like a mule
to work like I had no value
other than being a tool
to make a next man rich
then I became a goat
and I broke the barriers
jumped the gate
and escaped
modern days today
and now I am back in 
sheep mode
falling for the criticisms
bad information
pretty much enslaved
mentally
while some say
the sheep mode
is good because Jesus
saved the 100th sheep
who was lost
while some literally
treat me as a horse
as a debate rages on
really and truly
I want to be more like a bird
flying free
or like a bee
a pollinator
but after all
we are humans
supposedly the highest order
but more living
in disorder
jealousy, hatred
and maladministration
in the age of information
we have regressed
lost that progress
from the supposed 
ape age
the primintive time
when we were resilient
and more silent
how will we find
ourselves again?

Greetings! You have said so much with so little, as you used animals to exemplify abstract thoughts.

The latter portion may be used as a neat insult to the foolish,oppressor, or a combination of both. The term "ape age"made me chuckle.

Very expressive!! You have engaged the human dilemma! and the struggle to free ourselves.
