Ome Gompote Kiwigimoni Huaorani in Ecuador

The Huaorani people live there
Its there land, its not your’s
you have no claim
you have no rights
and of course that is because

destruction of the forest
this vital place to be
in this great land of Ecuador
please
listen to me

money grabbing tactics
intervention by
BIG OIL and its masters
so clueless
which is why

this land is rich and precious
this forest’s virgin green
where every conceivable tree and plant
must be saved and must be seen

adding rich fertility
to the soil, and the planet too
and coming to drill for oil here
is something you cannot do

Here is peace and harmony
a people whose culture stands
the test of time
so there is no rhyme
or reason
in their hands

are centuries of knowledge
and all you want to do
is send them packing
by attacking
a people good and true

You corporates are arrogant
power crazy and the rest
here my friends are living
peacefully, and you at best

will want to carve great areas
and drill and so pollute
this is a vile idea of course
and a terrible pursuit

Let me tell you
they can teach you
much more in a day
about why this great forest
must not be torn away

your drilling platforms are not wanted
not in Ecuador
The Government must
protect its souls
and show you all the door
