Bornean Orangutans are listed as, endangered
and they are known as,” the man of the jungle”
Orangutan family nests, are up high in the trees
as this way of life, helps them fight disease
They stand out as orange, with lips that pout
and have hands and feet, that grip like a press
with very strong arms, for their natural process
to help them swing, from branch to branch
Orangutans are frugivores, and play a vital role
to dispose many seeds, for Mother Nature’s control
but if humans allow, Orangutans to become extinct
so would many tree species, making all life distinct
Orangutans are hunted for food, and are captured
to be seen as an elite symbol, for their life to be tattered
Their biggest threat, is the human overpopulation
encroaching on their land, with human deforestation

Will the human race actually feel triumphant
with the extinction of our African elephant,
why don’t humans believe it’s preposterous
that Earth only homes two hundred Rhinoceros,
I being a human feel that I’m a total rotter
contributing to the demise of our giant otter,
do humans think land only belongs to man
creating inevitable extinction of Bornean orangutan,
shouldn’t wildlife be like sheep is to a shepherd
not to oversee the inevitable loss of Amur Leopard,
why do we rejoice, eager to explain our merits
hurrah saved from extinction the black footed ferrets,
we can always tell our children a fascinating tale
about the time we saw on Earth an amazing Whale,
explain what’s that human like creature when they see
a film or video of what was once a chimpanzee,
perhaps if we could stop killing ourselves and animals
then our planet will not seem such a desperate shambles.
