The Wisdom of the Wild

In the heart of nature's splendour, where the ancient trees stand tall,
Lies a tale of wild creatures, and the wisdom they recall.
In the Budongo Forest shadows, where the chimpanzees roam free,
They seek the healing power, in the flora of the trees.

Oh, the wisdom of the wild, in the forests deep and green,
Where the chimpanzees are healers, with the knowledge yet unseen.
They teach us ancient secrets, in the medicines they find,
In the dance of nature's balance, there's a lesson for mankind.

They nibble on the leaves and bark, of trees and ferns unknown,
With a purpose and intention, their remedies are shown.
For wounds and infections, they know which plants to chew,
Their instincts are a guide, to the healing they pursue.

From the dead wood of Alstonia, to the fern leaves they consume,
Each plant a hidden doctor, in the forest's living room.
With anti-inflammatory power, and antibiotics strong,
The chimpanzees remind us, we've known this all along.

In the face of modern challenges, with diseases on the rise,
We turn to ancient forests, and the wisdom they comprise.
To the guardians of the green, and their medicinal lore,
The wild holds the answers, we've been searching for.

So let's protect these forests, and the secrets that they keep,
For in the heart of nature, lies the wisdom, pure and deep.
The chimpanzees are teachers, of a knowledge old and grand,
In their healing ways, they offer hope to every land.
