But I'm a born virus who calls itself human Caged with a conscience of constant confusion Stuck between a monkey, fish (and privately cat) Playing the cruel punchline for evolution what a lovely fact

Barring a few typos, the poem is an accurate representation of our kind and atrocities. Wonderfully crafted.

We are a jumble of all animal traits, sometimes a monkey wishing to climb higher and perch, sometimes, a fish swimming in the depths of comfort and peace, sometimes a cat craving to be fondled, sometimes a virus infecting the surroundings. We are constantly evolving and never static. In a way this is the puzzle of human nature! A poem of great depth.

What a poem of great depth. A wonderful write that captures brilliantly the complexity of existence.. The monkey, fish cat and dog are just amazing species that best exemplified the intricacies of humanity.

" Hustling in the jungle for a higher perch Perusing some bounty off Fruitless vines." This thought provoking poem is very amazingly and brilliantly penned with wonderful expression.
