Ape Man
He had come back
From high halls
Coaches and postures
Of London.
A Lord, and not really
Thrilled at all.
Humans seemed to
Strive and argue so.
Clan sensation only
Applied to taking property.
And that, as much as possible.
Come back to the
Greenery, vines
And tall jungle trees.
Recalling his birth
And providential
Raising by the Apes.
A Mother of tenderness
Had suckled him.
Brothers of near age
Had toughened him.
Fighting for the lead.
Smiling while delivering
Hard blows of muscle.
Racing through upper
Alleyways of tree limbs.
Screaming at will
The rage and joy
Of the jungle.
Tarzan, courtier of Jane
Explorer of mysterious Kingdoms
Saviour of lost
And confounded safaris.
Friend of Beasts
To others horrifying.
