The Boy's of the Forest

Deep in Borneo
The myth was broken
No headhunters did i find
But in the morning i was awoken

Some tribal people
Near a plateau crest
Have finally spotted
The boy's of the forest

I had heard they existed
For many years
In forests so deep
Away from modern tears

These boy's are so different
On their back they have wings
With birds of paradise they sit
And they speak through sings

From the reports i hear
They look like you and me
And no wonder you ask
How can that be

At sometime long ago
An evolutionary fork
Has taken a different path
While, maybe others did abort

Is there a reason
Why they have lasted the pace
Are they the future
Of our human race

On these beautiful islands
Creatures of old, undiscovered
Hidden for reasons
In greened canopy covers

Today i travel
To this plateau crest
To glimpse these boy's of the forest
For them, their presence will rest

Interesting tale. I don't think that we'll sprout wings even though it would be fun to fly at a low altitude without getting sick and get a bird's eye view of everything. Sara
