Bonobos are listed as, endangered
and mirror Chimpanzees, with 98.7% of human DNA
They are found in forests, south of the Congo river
and are sometimes called, a pygmy Chimpanzee
Bonobos are smaller, leaner and darker than Chimpanzees
and their society, is a little different to their cousins
Their groups are led by females, that are easier to please
with keeping relationships, that solve issues with antitoxins
If two groups of Bonobos, come together in the forest
you can expect them to engage, into one hell of a fight
Bonobos have a low reproductive rate, and that’s not great
so we, their ancestry prime mates, need to save their plight
Humans hunt them to eat, and trade them as bushmeat
and humans keep them as pets, and sell them for medicine
There is a greed for money, for poaching and deforestation
which leads to civil unrest, with the human overpopulation

Genuine love is loveless
Whereof the heart is beclouded
With mystic, monastic and metaphysical aura
Only minds as deep as the Congo river can contain.
'Tis when fair love subsist
That spiritual, ethical and philosophical
Transcend all mundane forms and allures
That are subject to the acid test of time and change.
'Tis to disdain honeycombs
To find relish in bitter herbs is rare
And have wants and longings lay in catacombs
Beside the sweet amusing bed of roses it is but to dare.
'Tis to know what it is
Love dwells in spirit and not physique
And its form is literal but not imaginative
And its essence not naive but rather philosophical!
