is up and growing<br \/>\nFor so many victims, we<br \/>\nAre being turned  out now every day<br \/>\nSo called humanity<br \/>\nUpside down in trucks in hospitals<br \/>\nWe  can see them lie<br \/>\nEyes just about open<br \/>\nPeering to the sky<\/p>\n<p>Their memories come flooding back<br \/>\nThe misty climes of day<br \/>\nThe cries of birds and monkeys<br \/>\nThe wildness was a way<br \/>\nEach interlude of peacefulness<br \/>\nPictures of content<br \/>\nacrobatics on high branches<br \/>\nAll were heaven sent<\/p>\n<p>their lives were natural gestures<br \/>\nObservant of the light<br \/>\nFollowing the rivers<br \/>\nWatching primates taking flight<br \/>\nTo another dimension<br \/>\nThe freedom it was there&#8217;s<br \/>\nA red flash in the morning<br \/>\nThe orangutang, shares<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s true tree line activity<br \/>\nBut sadly it has become<br \/>\nA victim in the field house<br \/>\nApparently so numb<br \/>\nA doctor with her stethoscope<br \/>\nListens to a broken heart<br \/>\nBreathlessly and silently<br \/>\nTrying to impart<\/p>\n<p>The horror and the sadness<br \/>\nOf becoming victims who<br \/>\nOnce climbed through the forests<br \/>\nBut now just cannot view<br \/>\nScrewed up all the trees are gone<br \/>\nThe holocaust reborn<br \/>\nAll the creatures murdered<br \/>\nAlthough we tried to warn<\/p>\n<p>The people far across the seas<br \/>\nIts what the corporations do<br \/>\ndestruction so apparent<br \/>\nAnd all entirely true<br \/>\nGreat machines rolled in<br \/>\nAnd smashed down everything we had<br \/>\nThe orchestra of finance<br \/>\nThe stillness now is sad<\/p>\n<p>As the strimmers and the loggers<br \/>\nWhat was the big steal<br \/>\nA great down pour of leaves<br \/>\nWhich never could  appeal<br \/>\nDust clouds rose into our sky<br \/>\nFire burned hot around<br \/>\nUgly blackened edifices<br \/>\nStrangely did abound<\/p>\n<p>Making boards for garden decking<br \/>\nMany miles away<br \/>\nSacrificing everything<br \/>\nFor that is man kinds  way<br \/>\nTrucked into this hospital<br \/>\nAnd on your bed I lie<br \/>\nMy eyes are open to it all<br \/>\nMy heart though asks you why<\/p>\n<p>The memories come flooding back<br \/>\nThe misty climes of then<br \/>\nThe cries of birds and primates<br \/>\nAnd then the sight of men<br \/>\nLife was a web of species<br \/>\nInteracting well<br \/>\nEverything was connected<br \/>\nMan made it into hell<\/p>\n<p>Man the great destroyer<br \/>\nOf what nature brought and set<br \/>\nBefore us through our wondrous minds<br \/>\nHe created debt<br \/>\nYea feed me with your melon<br \/>\nInfect me with your drugs<br \/>\nDrive me to another place<br \/>\nProtect me from your bugs<\/p>\n<p>Put me in a market cage<br \/>\nWith other wild souls who<br \/>\nAre waiting to be bought as pets<br \/>\nFrom somebody like you<br \/>\nIs this to be our future<br \/>\nStuck in some wire cage<br \/>\nA zoo for you to gawp at us<br \/>\nCall yourselves a sage<\/p>\n<p>Forlornly we are purely<br \/>\nLiving statues, we<br \/>\nLost our forest homes and came<br \/>\nTo your hell where you be<br \/>\nTrying to communicate<br \/>\nTrying just to say<br \/>\nWhy we logged your forests bare<br \/>\nAnd chained us up today<\/p>\n<p>We walked where we were born to walk<br \/>\nBut you stopped all of that<br \/>\nYour greed had  demonstrated<br \/>\nNow where you are at<br \/>\nAll the leaves have fallen this is what you bring<br \/>\nTotal sick confusion<br \/>\nTo every underling<\/p>\n<p>So many victims burning<br \/>\nYour  fire it burned us black<br \/>\nThe orangutang lies on your bed<br \/>\nHe knows there is no way back<br \/>\nLife was a web of species<br \/>\nInteracting well<br \/>\nBut man through his corporations<br \/>\nMade everything his hell<\/p>\n<p>Pornographic magazines<br \/>\nAnd litter everywhere<br \/>\nThe wild souls they were wasted<br \/>\nAnd now share your despair<br \/>\nPicture books and hospitals<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s the future we<br \/>\nShare with human beings<br \/>\nNow too blind to see<\/p>\n<p>Humanity the depravity<br \/>\nThe shocking ugly scene of bars and fucking cages<br \/>\nWhere naturalness had been<br \/>\nExposed to the unheroic<br \/>\nThe Indifference and the fire<br \/>\nThe crackling smoking monster<br \/>\nThe devastation dire<\/p>\n<p>Palm oil saplings laid for miles<br \/>\nReady soon to bring<br \/>\nDeforestation and hell on earth<br \/>\nWhere no sweet soul dare sing<br \/>\nWrapped up in a cotton towel<br \/>\nThe oil palm meant to be<br \/>\nIn your junk food far away<br \/>\nAcross a polluted sea<\/p>\n<p>Help to rape the forests<br \/>\nLeaving  everywhere so bare<br \/>\nJust prolong the agony<br \/>\nOf every being there<br \/>\nMade in Indonesia and Malaysia<br \/>\nThe labels proudly advertise<br \/>\nThis fact<br \/>\nLoaded onto tankers owned my myriad bankers<br \/>\nThe corporate names of Nestle  kraft just react<\/p>\n<p>The natural world of forests producing<br \/>\nCleaner air<br \/>\nSacrificed for filthy junk foods<br \/>\nIs no one aware<br \/>\nJust a bunch of brainwashed twerps<br \/>\nWoking for those who<br \/>\nAre destroying environments<br \/>\nWhich they say they do for YOU<\/p>\n<p>But they are fucking psycho&#8217;s<br \/>\nTo sacrifice as all<br \/>\nJust to make their factories and offices<br \/>\nSo tall<br \/>\nAnd to poison all our children<br \/>\nWith the refinements of the new<br \/>\nLeaving behind the ugliness<br \/>\nWhich humans sadly
