The Climbing of Trees by the Monkeys is Prophetic of Mankind Conquering Space
In the pristine rainforest
the monkeys ascend by climbing,
tree branch after towering tree branch,
Until they reach the top of the canopy of leaves.
(And see the Sun).
The monkeys represent mankind.
The heights of the canopy of greenery
Stand for the blue canopy of space,
The whole of the Milky Way galaxy.
As natural as it is for monkeys
To rule the enchanted rain forest,
Likewise, Man's logical destiny is
To reign over all the Milky Way.
It will take the next billion years or so.
But our dynasty will last for countless
More billions and billions of years.
The difference between the monkeys and mankind is this:
The rain forest was already alive before the monkeys arrived.
Whereas,the galaxy is presently dead, lifeless, uninhabited.
But Mankind will bring myriads of lifeforms
As we colonize Space, planet by planet, star by star.
Yes, that's it!
At the end of the day, the whole galaxy
Will be turned into a cosmic rain forest.
The arboreal metaphor will become astronomical reality!
PS:This is supported in the Bible.
David the writer of the psalms
Says "the heavens are the work of Your fingers"(Psalms 8.3)
"The moon and the stars which You have ordained".
"You have made man to have dominion
Over the work of Your hands"(Ps 8.6).
This means dominion over what?
The heavens: the moon and the stars.
What form will that (future) dominion take?
"You have put all things under man's feet"(Ps 8.6)!
That's the answer!! That's the answer to our question!
If "all things" includes "the moon and the stars,"
For they have already been specified,
Then God will put the moon and the stars "under man's feet,"
Meaning that Man will walk on the moon and the stars,
ie, colonize the planets orbiting the stars of our galaxy!
All the galaxies are zooming away from each other
Due to the expansion of the universe
That began at the Big Bang, of course.
So we may never be able to catch up with them.
But gravity is holding the stars
WITHIN our own galaxy in place.
These 100 billion stars are not going anyway!
We will have time to reach them!
We'll transform them with flora and fauna
from Earth - Mother Earth - the original living planet,
from lifeless globes into living planets(Romans 8.18-21).
Oh the magnanimity of God's Plan for Mankind!
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard..
The things that God has prepared
For those that love Him"(1 Corinthians 2.7-9).

You have an interesting style, but I can't help but cringe a little. You've taken multiple verses completely out of their contexts and spliced them together for the sake of your poetry. You've created your own world, not given this one meaning.
I like your style! I think it'll help to study a little more. :)

Are you saying that taking verses out of their contexts is automatically harmful, dishonest, useless? We take gold ore out ofthe ground which is its context. we separate it from that context without shame, without automatically committing a crime. What are we supposed to do, add the dirt around the gold ore to the ore and melt it down to make impure gold. My point is there is nothing wrong about taking a fact out of a constellation of facts. You look up someone's name out of a phone book. That is to "take it out of its context" so to speak. You should not have to take OTHER names and numbers next to the name that you are seeking. Just the name you want should be OK.
If (1)the moon and stars are the work of God's hands, and (2)God gives mankind "dominion" over them, and (3)if that dominion takes the form of God placing "all things under our feet" this leads to the conclusion that man will colonize space. regardless of your petty objections.
