I'm sure there is room in the evolutionary model for apes. I dont think things necessarily evolve into something better, more something different, usually by accident - creating the huge (but sadly ever decreasing) number of species we find today. To suggest that humans would evolve and therefore make apes obsolete implies that evolution is some sort of grand plan, which I dont think it is.

Are you implying some sort of creationist theory in your poem?

Your point about capitalism is fine, but when it comes to musicians, it is a little flawed, otherwise I would become a pro tomorrow, providing the safety nets were in place. Noone may choose to listen to me, but there we go. The creative types in the arts world usually find a way to subvert (or transcend?) the capitalist system, but I suppose we all need to put bread on the table somehow.
