Palm oil all the way from Africa

Corporations are rolling in it

palm oil is their thing

as for virgin forests

what does palm oil bring

to all that life and luxury

to the godly spirit there

little, yes I have to say

But lots  of wild despair

The Indigenous people suffer

wild animals do too

the wondrous  web under the ground

we miss that vital  clue

the workers slave for little

the corporations earn

the wildness and the glory

it really should concern

all of us for Palm oil

makes money that is true

for the biggest spenders

the corporations who

see wondrous forest torn down

the animals within all killed

the poor souls getting poorer

blood is being spilled

Nature how she is suffering

and the oil is not that good

ah they are making lots of money

much more than they should

Nigeria counts its riches

BIAFRA cries aloud

the Igbo people suffer

a nation that was proud

ancestral Land loss

killings so many were allowed

and tragically the rumblings

continue  to this day

And Palm oil doesn’t  help

there is still an array

of misnomers and degradation

everywhere you go

Suspiciousness and falsehoods

as painful feelings grow.
