Upside-down Bananas

Is it any wonder?
We can’t get humanity “right”?
While we’re looking for answers
They’re hidden in plain sight

The damn primates even know it
And they don’t hide the facts
While we struggle with existence
They’re laughing behind our backs

Ever since the inception,
of the Gorilla’s favorite fruit,
They already knew how to peel it,
while we looked on in hot pursuit.

There's an easier way to peel it,
and the answer can be found.
If you would just simply turn,
that sweet banana upside down.

It seems we’ve been peeling,
them wrong and ass-backwards.
Not too proud to say I’m feeling,
foolish and at a loss for words.

Monkeys knew by instinct,
It was peeled the other way.
Now someone’s made a big stink,
showing how on the internet today.

Why is it that most Humans,
who were made to be superior,
peel our bananas upside-down,
unlike the chimps who are inferior?
