Gorilla’s Dream

Oh, to be free, is my only dream,

To live in this world, why do I have to scream?

I am a herbivore who likes to be in a tropical forest,

I love to hang around with my troop and go on a feast like a guest.

I am very strong but can't run for long,

I enjoy pounding my chest, whether angry or calm.

My favorite food is root and shoot,

But deforestation is making me sad and mute.

Trees are my friends, and I am an intelligent mammal,

Cutting down trees makes me feel like a camel in the desert—so dismal.

Habitat destruction and poaching are my biggest fear,

Thanks to UNESCO and World Life Federation for their love and care.
