Compare the rainforest
\nThese last 40 years
\nGo to Malaysia
\nHold back the tears
\nPerhaps you cant see
\nPerhaps you don’t care
\nSo many with asthma
\nFrom the state of the air<\/p>\n
The forest was once massive
\nThe planets lungs
\nLoaded with oxygen
\nTill huge lapping tongues
\nOf fire slash and burn came along
\nAnd we saw
\nThe devil incarnate
\nHim in the raw<\/p>\n
All those precious trees
\nAll those plants all those fruits
\nAll those wonderful animals
\nDeep in the roots
\nAll that fabulous soil
\nFertile and good and what did we do
\nWe did what we could<\/p>\n
In cities we turn away
\nIn our concrete blocks
\nWe used more and more
\nOf the planets stocks
\nOf oil
\nIt was comfort and plastics
\nWe used
\nWe sat back and watched
\nAs Corporations abused<\/p>\n
All that was natural
\nThat amazing land
\nThe indigenous suffered
\nThey couldn’t understand
\nThe madness aforethought
\nThe perils on earth
\nSlash and burn science
\nIt ruined the earth<\/p>\n
The Orangutan the arborial soul
\nWas pulled off the trees
\nWe were in control
\nWe wanted the logs
\nWe needed to see
\nDeserts of palm
\nReplacing the sea
\nOf trees all that wisdom
\nThe health nature gave
\nNot a tree left
\nNothing no one could save<\/p>\n
Re planting palm oil
\nA sickness upheld
\nAway went the medicinal plants
\nTrees were felled
\nAnimals slaughtered
\nNobody cared
\nThe corporate monsters
\nNobody shared<\/p>\n
Just slaughter them all
\nFor the palm oil we need
\nWatch the trees torn down
\nWatch the plants bleed
\nWatch the great deserts open and say
\nPalm oil is great and its VEGAN today<\/p>\n
What of the animals
\nWhat of the birds
\nWhat of the reptiles
\nI am lost for words
\nWhat of the insects
\nEverything lost
\nDead to the world
\nAn enormous cost<\/p>\n
People were shocked at the vile extent
\nCorporates ugly and vicious intent
\nTo ruin this planet to scoop up the gold
\nThe oil they could plunder
\nAnd so much they have sold
\nYes good to fry chips
\nYes good to be
\nProcessing fast food
\nThe profits can be<\/p>\n
As high as we want
\nAt the death of the trees
\nAnd corporate power its there if you please
\nWe have allowed them to grow
\nWe have allowed them to be
\nAnd now they are bringing in the TPP
\nYour children will wonder
\nHow sick you were for
\nThis trans pacific partnership
\nIs blood and gore
\nYour children if you have them
\nWill kneel down and cry
\nAt how stupid you were
\nFor they now do die<\/p>\n
The atmosphere’s toxic
\nThe chem trails they sprayed
\nThe slash and burn tactics
\nThe great PALM oil trade
\nYes it was vegan
\nSome vegan told me
\nSuch fucking ignorance
\nShe couldnt see
\nThe nose on her face
\nLike I could and I
\nWill go to my grave
\nWith tears in my eye<\/p>\n
Not for her or her mates
\nOn the vegan page
\nBut for all of the animAls
\nLost in this age
\nAll of her children
\nAll of them will
\nSuffer so much
\nFrom the blood her lot spill<\/p>\n
I cry in my sleep knowing
\nWhat they have done
\nThe infernal bastards who slept in the sun
\nThe American dream is a fucking nightmare
\nLeaving this planet
\nIn so much despair
\nI cry for the indigenous
\nI cry for them all
\nDeforestation
\nWake up dear fool<\/p>\n
Stuck on your lap top
\nYou digital arse
\nLook in the mirror
\nJust as I pass
\nStare at the ocean
\nThats now full of shit
\nLook for a forest
\nNo trees left
\nI pit
\nMy soul against yours any day
\nYou vile creep<\/p>\n
Soon i agree
\nMy eternal sleep
\nWill come
\nI will die frustrated as hell
\nWill somebody out there
\nRead this and tell<\/p>\n
Those twerps they are destroying us all
\nAnd more rapidly than some of you know<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
