Once we had forest
\nAnd the greenest plain
\nCaves just to lie in
\nTo dwell and refrain
\nFrom seeing those humans
\nWe could hide away
\nBut as time passed
\nThey came and we lost out ok<\/p>\n
Nature was on our side
\nWe were at one
\nNirvana was our space
\nThere was no gun
\nWe were all grounded
\nEvolving lets say
\nWe worked with our instinct
\nEvery day<\/p>\n
The unimagined was yet to come
\nThose negative aspects
\nWe expected some
\nFor living the wild life
\nWas potentially sweet
\nWe knew our bearings
\nWe lived on our feet<\/p>\n
Our family was everything
\nThat was how we
\nLearned from each other
\nOur identity
\nWe would hang together
\nThat was our scene
\nCoherent and with it
\nLike we had always been<\/p>\n
Then it all happened
\nYou came to destroy
\nTore down our trees
\nGoodbye to joy
\nRipped up our bushes
\nBurned us alive
\nPlunged us in darkness
\nWe couldn’t survive<\/p>\n
We ran through the darkness
\nDeep into the green
\nFrightened we were
\nAt the great loud machine
\nThat bore through our habitat
\nWith a giant screw
\nYou built your houses
\nThats what you do<\/p>\n
We lost the earth
\nThat softness was gone
\nNow it was concrete
\nNo plants upon
\nThis type of violence
\nIt was everywhere
\nCertainly no place
\nFor any old bear<\/p>\n
We were off like the clappers
\nDown to the stream across it and
\nInto the thickness to dream
\nBut you lot came closer and closer
\nBut we
\nDidN’t know where to go
\nFor you we could see<\/p>\n
You put out your rubbish
\nIn bins and we thought
\nThat you were feeding us
\nYea the new sport
\nGoing down human town
\nBagging some food
\nThe indian take away
\nThat did exude<\/p>\n
A spicy character
\nGreasy as hell
\nBears do like grease
\nAnd the sugary sell
\nSo of course we are drawn
\nAnd thats when we find
\nYour guns pointed at us
\nBecause we have dined<\/p>\n
On the shit in your bins
\nWe pull it around
\nSorting the best bits
\nYea on the ground
\nAnd it pisses you off
\nAnd it pisses us too
\nThat you lot moved onto
\nOur land which is true<\/p>\n
Habitat loss due to your
\nConcrete boxes
\nIt hurts us all from bears through
\nTo foxes
\nAll of us critters
\nNeed space for to be
\nLiving our lives
\nInto our destiny<\/p>\n
Already the forest is laden
\nWith change
\nThe trees many gone
\nOut on the range
\nThe plants and the birds
\nThey have flown away
\nAnd the insects and butterflies
\nAre not here today<\/p>\n
What you are doing is poaching our lives
\nThen threatening us with your bows and knives
\nYour bloody rifles its every day
\nWe have to watch out
\nOr get shot away
\nWild forest living is not good no more
\nYou came and told us that we were at war
\nAnd recently such a great onslaught where we
\nLost 300 bears all shot rapidly<\/p>\n
In the space of one day
\nThe mindless were born
\nThey came in their droves
\nOur hearts were soon torn
\nOut of our bodies our ladies too
\nAnd our little babies
\nOrphaned their view<\/p>\n
A terrible world as sinful as hell
\nSordid and vile we all knew well
\nWe had to go hide find a cave
\nGet away
\nBut many still got shot
\nAnd died on that day<\/p>\n
They are nothing but vandals
\nDestroying it all
\nComplete desolation
\nWe now can’t recall
\nThose joyous days before humans arrived
\nWhen bears and all wild folk
\nAlways survived<\/p>\n
So much imbalance and
\nCatastrophe
\nOur food sources gone
\nIt is no place to be
\nNatures creation
\nIs concrete and glass
\nAnd dustbins and litter
\nIts one great big farce<\/p>\n
Man un kind lives here
\nMan unkind feels
\nHe is superior
\nAnd what that reveals
\nIs the death of all wild life
\nOf forests and lakes
\nIn just a few years
\nFor thats all it takes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
