The forest

Slash and burn
A crime so heinous
Out of an arrogant and
Evil mind
As ignorant as the day is long
And the big eyed corporates are
Still so blind

To the biosphere
And the ways of nature
To the trees that talk
In the ground below
The feet of the strangers
The ignorant army
Of loggers and oil palm
That seemingly know

In the depths of the litter
The mysterious pathways
So richly creative
Of fertility
The network of tree roots and fungi
Interaction is working the magic
That most cannot see

Trees do communicate sharing
The nutrients
Talking the language and sharing
The care
Survival is paramount
In the vast woodlands
All the interfaces
Are very aware

Life is much more than
Dealing with money
But not for the corporate
Loggers for they
Destroy everything in their path
On short circuits
And in reality all of us pay

Removing or burning the old trees
Is ignorance
Of how dead and dying trees
Pass on their worth
They have good nutrients
And a vast knowledge
And can pass it on
To those left in the earth

The fungi will come and breakdown
materials
Sharing it out via the networks below
This is the future
Of all of our forests
Which corporate interests
Simply don’t know

Its all short term working
Destroy and destruction
Slash and burn
Just turn
Your body away
Then just move on
To a new spot to devastate
Ruin the planet
That is the order
Of their f day

As for the people
And trees that
Are living there
Nobody cares
Anymore for them they
Can rot in their squalor
They can sink in the quagmire
As long as the banksters
Can do things their way
