He was just 15 or so Francesca said <br />When a different tribe of Glasgow boys <br />Beat the boy to death. <br /> <br />A jolt, another jolt was all I felt <br /> <br />Am I and mine the one important thing <br />It seems to me I am? <br />Risen ape or fallen angel <br />What a piece of work is man <br /> <br />The risen ape will feel the visceral jolt <br />And be appalled <br />The fallen angel turns away <br />And hides himself in words.<br /><br />David S Dennis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/87-risen-apes-and-fallen-angels/
