Cross River Gorillas
Cross River Gorillas, are critically endangered
because humans have encroached, on their land
They share ninety eight percent, of our human DNA
but there are some humans, who want them for pay
Gorillas function, with a developed social structure
and are led by adult males, known as silverbacks
They have a vegetarian diet, for their life of culture
spreading the seeds of nature, while eating their snacks
Cross River Gorillas, have grown wary of humans
as they like to encroach, into their rugged territory
They take down forests, for livestock and timber
and plant agriculture, for humans to eat their dinner
These Gorillas are scattered, through lands of forests
with a number of groups, that number about forty
They are not our enemy, in these amazing forests
so we must not encroach, by becoming a cockroach
