The Chimp in Us

Frodo, the chimp, took on the old leader and won,
the old one has to flee into the jungle, and is now
ostracized…the strongest always win, just like us,
the strongest nation tries subjugating the weak ones.

We humans have been able to set up a social system
that works, even if at times shakily, if not old me,
would be reduced to eat banana leaves and rotten
fruit discarded by the victorious.  
 
The war in Syria is a young man´s battle, they try to
get rid of the old rulers and when they win they
will, the future is not rosy for losers, who will be
killed or sent into exile. The strict rule, the fanatical
will try to enforce makes me shudder. Frodo too
shall be slain or sent into exile… chimps and us have
much in common, we seek power for our ego that
is only satisfied when dominance is absolute.
