I don’t know why
Do you have a clue
Why do we live
In such a zoo
So many walls
and so full of bars
But it was not until
We all met Harry
That we saw the real
true reasons
of who was to suffer
and who was to marry
People still hate him
for the things he revealed
and placed a spotlight on
Things that weren’t true
said colleagues and the past
Others crying of the harm done
His cruelty to monkeys
His writing lacks empathy
Where is the love ?
Where is the sympathy ?
But if you talk to his co-workers
Hurting monkeys
was not his quest
He searched for the keys
To help the souls lost
put pain to rest
For each monkey has
a million followers
walking to his drum
Showing the simplistic
Withdrawn
Was where they came from
Wire monkeys showing no tenderness
Keeping their babies at bay
Babies self-rocking in desperation
crying don’t turn my love away
A Wire monkey
showing no tenderness
and offering food galore
The other monkey offered
warmth and a hug
but nothing more
Some babies got choices
others the deck unfair
Some had only the wire
Eyes wide in despair
Feeding the body
But not the heart
Is what will rip
fragile minds apart
The mother-child bond
imprints ripples for life
Devoid of hugs and love
creates turmoil and strife
More than just sadistic
creating the Pit
Harry searched for the key
To bring the lost back
from the brink
To learn to be free
Coming to watch
As things transpire
Feeding the flames
Watching the fire
And Harry found an answer
on the other side of the spectrum
But when you really look
it wasn’t much of a conundrum
He called them super
they had more hugs to give
Bringing the lost back
helping show how to live
A little understanding
was all that was required
To know what love is
was all that was desired
If it wasn’t for Harry
who knows where we would be
without this Mad Hatter
For he fought the world
when all the world said
love didn’t matter
