The She-Monkey
by mazHur
when I was a little boy
my grandma used to tell me stories
one such story was about a she-monkey
who got stranded in a desert
carrying a couple of her kids
the hot sand began to scorch
when sun came overhead
there was no shelter
for the poor monkey mother
to shade herself or her kids
from the fiery heat
which had begun to roast her feet
finally she lost control
her endurance began to fade
her motherly instinct died down
she lost her mind as if she had to
the excruciating heat of the roasted sand
was no more bearable
she threw down her kids on the burning sand
and stood over them
until they all burnt out and died
the she-monkey was saved
the urge for survival
surpassed all the principles
all religions, all creeds
even the motherly instinct!
