Forests full of every conceivable medicine, animals
\nReptiles, birds
\nThe great lungs of the planet
\nRemember all these words<\/p>\n
The precious trees that harbour
\nSo much thats good around
\nAged beings lost in time
\nGiants from the ground<\/p>\n
They wallow in the litter
\nAnd search into the sky
\nForming a rich canopy
\nWhere Orangutan ‘s can fly<\/p>\n
Below their spreading branches
\nForest elephants roam
\nAnd distinct and wondrous species
\nAnd I could write a tome<\/p>\n
About this glorious shadowy soul
\nThe forest is its place
\nA wanderer Of high regard
\nWe should be on their case<\/p>\n
The planet is now being
\nAttacked by evilness
\nDirected at the forest kingdoms
\nUnder extreme stress<\/p>\n
And this elephant is in trouble
\nFor its habitat is lost
\nTree after tree is coming down
\nAt an enormous cost<\/p>\n
In 20 years at best
\nThe forest elephant will go
\nWill be the last one left I think
\nAnd will gradually walk so slow<\/p>\n
And sink into the swamp of life
\nThe last soul to be seen
\nMan the robotic ass hole
\nCan say he once had been<\/p>\n
The Rhino this great pachyderm
\nIts hide as thick as steel
\nIn India they are dying fast
\nIn Africa the zeal<\/p>\n
Of the Chinese black market
\nIn TCM stuff goes
\nFast into equilibrium
\nAs everybody knows<\/p>\n
The Jaguar they are suffering
\nTheir skins are valued by
\nThe rich and bloody infamous
\nWho care not that they die<\/p>\n
Also caught up in forest clearance
\nFor the shit palm oil
\nThat how western corporates
\nProfit from by native toil<\/p>\n
Lemurs little bug eyed souls
\nVictims of the trees the slash and burn
\nCome on your turn
\nBrought soon to their knees<\/p>\n
The Bonobo’s sexually orientated
\nFree love is their thing
\nBut trees and forests they love best
\nThey have no need for bling<\/p>\n
Everyone loves everyone
\nIn their community
\nSo they might live a little longer
\nWithout their favourite tree<\/p>\n
Bears the grizzly variety
\nGregarious as hell
\nHabitat loss is killing
\nBut they so adapt well<\/p>\n
They like to savour humans
\nSo may drag on a while
\nBears are pretty cagey
\nAnd live their lives in style<\/p>\n
Tigers the striped pussy
\nIs not getting its own way
\nAgain the forest cover is cut down
\nSo they say<\/p>\n
Certain tigers have already lapsed
\nGone extinct as more
\nWill be going crazy
\nOn the forest floor<\/p>\n
Pangolins and China
\nThe traditional medicine mob
\nUse their delicate hairy scales
\nThis creature they do rob<\/p>\n
And thousands of them get it
\nEvery single day
\nTo cure the total idiots
\nFrom Canton to Bombay<\/p>\n
The albatross the wonder bird
\nA great wingspan to boot
\nCan fly in fact forever
\nAnd it knows the route<\/p>\n
It never needs a sat nav
\nAnd of course never gets lost
\nBut fishing nets and seine nets
\nHave really truly cost<\/p>\n
the wild dog is a victim too
\nPacks of them all sick
\nDistemper from the pet dog trail
\nKind of starts to pick<\/p>\n
The numbers and the wild boys
\nAre suffering like mad
\nEndangered is their status
\nWhich truthfully is sad<\/p>\n
The animals are dying
\nExploited everyone
\nThats the be and end all
\nUnderneath the sun<\/p>\n
A lot is down to palm oil
\nThough logging is a pain
\nThe corporates make their killing
\nWhich I view with much disdain<\/p>\n
They are willing to make their sacrifice
\nFor the balance sheet and more
\nFor their profit base
\nNot the human race
\nUs they just ignore<\/p>\n
A run down of the book
\nThe annihilation of Nature
