Sumatran Orangutan

by Cecilia A Heiskary

Little orangutan with the rusty hair

Running through the forest without a care

You are the slowest of the great apes

Making it hard for you to escape

Poachers come calling, nowhere to go

They take your babies, put them on show

You are critically endangered, as we know

Your numbers are so very low

The rate your habitat is going away

You may not be around another day
