Gorillas Among The Trees

They climb the trees
Moving with ease
Enjoying the coolness of the breeze
They innocently work through the day
Eating, climbing, sleeping in a peaceful way
Until we come along
Yelling, screaming and shooting

We do all the uprooting
We frighten and scare them
We sell and we wear them
We destroy this world of peace
With shameful ease
We kill them and remove there hide
We give there fur to the bride
The male gorilla
The silver back
Will come to try and help is pack
But again we just shoot him down
We leave him dead upon the ground
I do not think there is an excuse
For such horrible physical abuse
To these lovely creatures
Among the trees.

Trip Away

On Sunday mum took me down to the city to stay over night with an adult friend.  I have been here one day, one evening and one morning - about a day and a half.  So far we have gone to one of her rehersals for a performance, gone for a walk in the rain, started painting a shed and watched a movie.  It has been heaps of fun and I am enjoying it a lot.  Every-nown-again I feel a bit homesick but I always lighten up.  I have no pics as I forgot to bring my camera but that does not matter.  I will try to keep you up to date on a daily bases now I have my laptop charger - I left it at home - each night but we willm see how we go.  Keep chacking in for updates!
