Life and the red ape

The very existence
The created realness
The essential nature
Of all things we know
Attested and genuine
Concrete and tangible
We have this quality
As we all grow

In the wilds
Of the forest
Instinctively programmed
Inherent in all of us
Knowledge abounds
Tempered by environmental
Persuasion
At one with our mothers
The lights and the sounds

Are passed on
Instilled in us
We share the pathways
Being with mother
Maternally she
Balances milk flow
With what now comes after
Really two mothers
Improve our flow

Of what is pertaining
To food and creation
Mutual dependence
Our identity
But for those of our kin
Who are lost souls
Who have to
Find surrogate mothers
Clearly whats just
Remain close when climbing
Its all about timing
Its all about loving
And knowing needs must
