Its a filthy dirty business
\nIllegal deforestation
\nBehind this loss of precious trees
\nCharcoal and no salvation
\nPARA Is a state where
\nA lot of charcoal’s made
\nAnd nobody will wilingly do this work
\nIts the pig iron trade<\/p>\n
Its filthy dirty choking work
\nIn the rainforests where they
\nThe corporate lackeys using slaves
\nWhich they do not have to pay
\nHoused in dirty wooden shacks
\nNo running water there
\nNo toilets nothing but wet ground
\nFor perhaps ten men to share<\/p>\n
It really is true hell on earth
\nA threat to sanity
\nAlthough it is illegal
\nIt goes on actually
\nWith all the worst intentions
\nAn unforgiving trade
\nWhere no one shows you mercy
\nAnd exacts revenge with rage<\/p>\n
Some 250,000 slaves
\nAre being enslaved in Brazil
\nIts a very lucrative market
\nBut the awful smoke and smell
\nCuts through into lung tissue
\nAnd sickens men right through
\nWith really many health problems
\nAnd the jungles dangers too<\/p>\n
If you get scratched you get infection
\nMalaria is rife
\nIts really awfully dangerous
\nyour days are full of strife
\nAnd most of its exported
\nOff to the USA
\nvia Cosipar we hear
\nDenial thats theirc way<\/p>\n
Their steel goes into motor cars
\nWhite goods and the rest
\nMade with, slave tainted charcoal
\nWhich people Would detest
\nIf they knew about it
\nIf it was declared they
\nSurely would see boycotts
\nAnd lost sales right away<\/p>\n
But its all done hush hush say no more
\nAnd slaves well they are lost
\nThreatened with reprisals
\nAnd forewarned as to the cost
\nThey intimidate and bully
\nIts menace all the way
\nThe ethic of huge contracts
\nApparently they stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
