The Orangutan arborially
swings about from tree to tree
rarely walks the forest floor
Palm oil represents a war
of ugliness and sick intent
its darkening growth not heaven sent
the wealth of light replaced by dark
giant Rats and Cobra’s stark
Owls that feed on slithering souls
that exercise truest controls
Indigenous people’s knowledge reigns
palms and darkness rapidly drains
the light force and encourages blight
And a battle ground where the weak doth fight
