In the back of a truck
being rocked up and down
covered in dust
she’s green
and a bit brown
she sleeps on a bed
not up in a tree
she is all alone
the ceiling, she can see
a lizard by the clock
a web on a bough
she hears the wild whooping
the cry of a sow
the mists in the morning
the birds in the air
these dreams are her’s
and she wants to be there
but instead she’s inside
in a bed all alone
no trees to climb on
nothing she’s known
The Palm oil, operatives
making their dough
cutting down forests
they told her to go
now she is lost
in the human world, she
a lost cause she feels like
without a tree
what are we doing
why don’t we care
the red apes were born
and should always be there
all of this palm oil
it saturates
the lungs of the forest
it demonstrates
with all of the wisdom
with all of the care
with the making of life
and the beautiful air
profit and money
and margins will be
useless to all of us
you wait and see
with the fresh air so tainted
the water so too
with the wild feral creatures
all trapped in our zoo
the good that was nature
is contaminated
and we as a race
are now relegated
to choking for air
scrambling for food
slaves in the forest
blatantly crude
everything’s gone
ripped up and burned
and no body in cities
are remotely concerned
Fracking pads everywhere
Fracking pools too
pollution is rife
now what did we do
the bilderberg moguls
their castles stand high
the rest of the people
are waiting to die
vaccinations are coming
chem trails are too
alzeimers and autism
just think it through
we took the wrong path
we slept for too much
we listened to grey suits
all so out of touch
the earth had such promise
but we listened to lies
believing the crap
put out by the wise
green a fine name
for a victim its true
a little red ape
and soon
all of you
