The Karen people in Myanmar
Indigenous people
Who know who they are
They so love the forest
Living off the land
And wildness they prefer
They so understand
Black panthers abound and
Other rare souls
Being killed off by progress
So called
Corporate goals
Development everywhere
Spoiling gods earth
These people are stars
Each has so much worth
