The Hominidae (), whose members are known as the great apes or hominids (), are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo (the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan); Gorilla (the eastern and western gorilla); Pan (the chimpanzee and the bonobo); and Homo, of which only modern humans (Homo sapiens) remain.Several revisions in classifying the great apes have caused the use of the term hominid to vary over time.

Stepping stones for shined shoes
Greased-palm façade
A ladder to the backrooms
Of self-service and fraud
Between the press pass handshakes
And demolition smiles
I've seen hope in a neck tie

A healing hand for the outcasts' reach
From the labor yards to Castro Street
Let the silent sing through the martyr's song

Hushed lovers and freaks
While the stubborn stewed scowling
In trembling council seats
Oh how the threats came daily
Inked in fear
With the chill of premonition
A speaking ghost appears

White in the office
Police-issued .38
A Twinkie for the judge
While the jury deliberates

Let the bullet shatter every closet door
Every landlord's lust, every profiteer's war
Let it scream the tune of justice and humility
In the ivory halls let it call for responsibility
