Pig Iron (from Brazil)

Pig iron made with
massive amounts of charcoal,alas
Ford, GM and BMW
entered the morass
illegal logging, and
of course slave labour
are fuelling yet more
disregard for all
buying steel they are
adding to the destruction
and Greenpeace says
its time to heed their call
President Dilma must protect
the Amazon
Deforestation and slavery are rife
the indigenous lands are under threat
and of course that problem
must be met
before there’s bloodshed
and of course more strife
Petitions have been lodged
but there’s no movement
RIO plus 20 seems to have come
and gone
to resolve the pig iron.charcoal
logging problems
that are now having a negative
effect upon
The planet as a whole
then lets keep pressure
firmly on all parties otherwise
probably with the death of the rainforest
we shall realise our own demise
