Inside the Forest

Lofty lush green trees 
bearing bright berries
Enthrall energy balls monkeys
that traverse through the air
to reveal ripened fruits matter
to thrushes, which then flutter  
and sing songs to share the info
with the sportive flying squirrels.
Deer drinking water in the river
overhears the overwhelming happy news
and confides it to the cows that always chew
Everyone then ecstatically eats berries 
unitedly as they abide by ubuntu
and so they live happily and making us live
