Zoo’s though there are many
\nAnd associations too
\nWildness and real freedom
\nIs what is good and true
\nAnd Leif Cocks and his Jungle School
\nAnd his heartfelt caring way
\nIs picking up these victims
\nOf palm oil and dismay<\/p>\n
By knowing them and understanding
\nThat captivity
\nis really
\nAn anthema and so he tries to be
\nPhysical and tangible
\nNothing to conceal
\nBecoming their existence
\nMothering them for real
\nThe lifeblood the true spirit
\nThe marrow and the core
\nAn indispensable frame of mind
\nFamilial and sure<\/p>\n
A connectedness and a fresh rapport
\nA kinship if you will
\nA proven common interest
\nAn accompaniment to still
\nBe helping and proportional
\nTo the knowledge that they need
\nTo establish a perspective
\nAnd To adequately succeed<\/p>\n
For each have their identity
\nBut as orphans to come through
\nTo gain their independence
\nTo be creative and be true
\nTo monitor their progress
\nIn a loving mindful way
\nConfronting any problems
\nThat may arise each day<\/p>\n
The forests are in peril
\nShrinking everyday
\nThese great lungs of the planet
\nBeing torn away
\nHuge expanses dwindling
\nAnd waning as we speak
\nThe arborial apes
\nAre on notice
\nThe union they seek
\nIs falling all around them
\nAs man’s conflict grows
\nWith wildness and with Nature
\nAnd mortification shows<\/p>\n
Leif and others friends of his
\nHave bought up land and they
\nAre establishing a boudary
\nWhere harmony can play
\nSome integrity in their future
\nAn overview where they
\nCan feel and all embracing light
\nAt the back end of each day<\/p>\n
Bringing order back to those
\nWho lost just everything
\nIs hard
\nBeing someones mother
\nTo a heart that has been scarred
\nTo all intents and purposes
\nAn upheaval came to be
\nA whirlwind of emotions
\nA ragbag tragically
\nDescended on their outlook
\nEmbroiled them in such pain
\nHelping them build a future
\nYes back up again<\/p>\n
Took a visionary and an angel
\nA real life man of green
\nAn initiate of spirit
\nIts inception felt extreme
\nCompassion goes along way
\nWith a heart of purest gold
\nWith the sinew of a gentle soul
\nWho felt the need to hold<\/p>\n
To love the forest people
\nThe red apes in the trees
\nTo show them their uniqueness
\nTo escort them and to please
\nTo monitor their being
\nTo give them time to be
\nThemselves to feel each moment
\nAnd their volatility<\/p>\n
And re wilding them
\nAnd seeing their independence he
\nFeels all that emotion
\nAs to their destiny
\nLooming on the horizon
\nthe need for change and care
\nWith other crops expanding
\nInto forests, he’s aware
\nThe work Must go on avidly
\nFor assumptions will not do
\nIn the luxuriance of the forests heart
\nWe must hope his dreams come true<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
