Do monkeys see humans as monkeys or humans?
Are we humans outside and monkeys inside?
O, why do monkey things happen in human affairs?
God gives the word and a higher level of thinking to humans
But still it is monkeys they turn up to be;
Why do bad things happen to good people?
God gives a flower to humans, but they turn into monkeys
And tear the flower up;
How do you love a human who has been scorched,
How do you love a woman who has been scorned,
How do you love a child who has been hurt,
Without the monkey in them snatching
It away and up a tree, defiant look and all?
How do you tame the wild when the wild does not want to be tamed?
Can you fashion a handbag from monkey skin?
Why o why do I have to fall for a love monkey?
Who teases, tears, tosses, tests and tricks?
Is a sense of love lost a signpost for a sense of new love found?
As in paradise lost, paradise returned?
And how would you like to bury a love lost
By conceding the ultimate irony:
"Let it be,"
Says humanity,
In the very same monkey?

"Teases, tears, tosses, tests and tricks" - are all about love. That's what I believe. But all these are not from a monkey, but from a "jinak jinak merpati", she's smart and that someone must be smarter than her.
This love, surely not from a monkey. But I believe, a monkey will understand other monkey better. They know, that love is their love.
Me, never fall in love with any monkeys, even many monkeys and ungkas liked me. I am still waiting for my "intelligent modern Tarzan" who's still missing in the jungle.
