Swaying around, leaping across

The bonobo lands on the ground

 

Catch up the speed,

The predator is around,

The mother is ready to feed.

 

The father stays alert,

The mother is hurt,

But it is time to stay vigilant,

 

Leaves rustle around them,

The silence closes on the infant.

 

The day becomes night,

and the night becomes day,

 

It is time to get some food,

and don’t let the predator intrude,

 

As the sun sets, the family rests,

hoping to stop their extinction,

ready for a new day sleeping In their nests,
