Living in the wild
and learning from the wild
helps a soul to contemplate
and really feel beguiled
for in this wild existence
great knowledge there is stored
the human talks of instinct
in them, often outlawed
we seek qualifications
from the university
the same place
where they slaughter
species
so willy nilly
involve themselves
in capturing wild primates
and they pay
to have them shipped around the world
to be cut up , my dismay
is evident
its in my genes
its in my spirit too
I may not think like many
but I do know what to do
the wild souls
got their knowledge
from the imprints in their brain
they were put here to be honest
to be caring to be sane
about the ways they lived their lives
with respect for where they were
placed they faced its obstacles
and with it did concur
The little girl loved peanut butter
with, added palm oil
they added it to make it
much more saleable
the toil
of producing it was undermined
by the oil and label thing
which storage in a warm shop
can quite often bring
the natural oil over the label
and so a profit can
be made when you add palm oil
all part of the plan
the little girl was ignorant
the Orangutan was not
the red ape lived within the forest
and she quickly got
the meaning of the palm oil thing
the loss of rain forest trees
the loss of natural habitat
and all the wild souls plea’s
as for city dwellers
in their concrete mansions they
just went to the hyper super market
everyday
unaware of corporate profit
and arrogance abroad
they lived in their unnatural homes
and perished by the sword
of corporate profit creation
for the corporate and their board
at the expense of every living soul
now over awed
by what in fact is happening
to the environment we woo
its being stolen from us
by the rich and arrogant few
the orangutan had a message
the little girl did too
remember she had parents
they bought the butter you
probably do the self same thing
lost in the jargon where
we can’t see what is obvious
when that life we do not share
