Animals Blissful Haven

A cherry wind falls,
Blissfully blowing in the trees.
Chimpanzees chirping,
Dancing in the Sun.
Elephants galloping,
Flirting with their trunks.
Giraffes eating apples,
Happily exploring Earth.
Indigenous people making bear fat 
Jam, yummy as the blood drips down
Killing is a part of life here,
Living in this land.
Monkeys frolic and play;
New territory to explore.
Opposition to the hunters,
People protest 
Quietly, unsure of the motives as
Roaring loud
Sounds of lions
Touch the ear of the young.
Unique is an understatement
Vowing to live this way for life
We are all one
Xi, being the 14th letter of the Greek alphabet, and the # of dinosaurs living here
You would never guess that we live in a 
Zoo, would you?
