Ecocide

Silenced in the roar of the flames

After the screams and the dying nothing remains

Desecrated slashed burned

To the ground In the frenzy of greed cries of protest are drowned

The earth dies ecocide The earth's forests laid

Forever to waste Thoughts of the future trampled in their haste

Corporations with their dollar sign focus ravage the amazon

Like a plague of locusts Plumes of black smoke ascend into the sky

A forest of beautiful creatures senselessly dies

Smoking fields of devastation left in mankind's wake

With populations left to grow and greed they justify this rape

The power of the dollar

Can't take precedence

Over the inevetable detrimental

Consequence The time to react is long overdue

From protest to confrontation by me and by you
