Ninety seven percent of
\nYour human DNA
\nThe orangutan a person
\nOf the forest
\nWhere dismay
\nHas been the word on many lips
\nBecause of the three per cent
\nWho somehow let the corporate world
\nChange it to content<\/p>\n
Content to make the money
\nTo tear forests to the ground
\nUprooting every precious plant
\nObliterating sound
\nThe millions of little voices
\nThe hundreds of bigger ones
\nWho were forced to leave
\nAnd go elsewhere
\nThe vacuum at least that stuns<\/p>\n
Those of us who heard them
\nThe JCB’s and saws
\nWho heard the cries of many
\nWho broke all Natures Laws
\nWhose slash and burn
\nA paradise and turned it into Hell
\nThe smoke rose to the heavens
\nMaking way to sell<\/p>\n
The palm oil that took root
\nHere
\nAn attractant of rats and snakes
\nA darkness then to compliment
\nThe advertising fakes
\nThe corporate world were gleeful
\nThe poor around could toil
\nAnd The indigenous who wanted to
\nCould help to make the oil<\/p>\n
And it made them many fortunes
\nThe corporatocracy
\nThe super markets everywhere
\nHappily did agree
\nPalm oil then was added
\nTo almost everything
\nAnd the margin reached enormous
\nFor our purchases did bring<\/p>\n
So much admiration
\nAround the boards abroad
\nStakeholders and Shareholders
\nClearly were in accord
\nAs for the previous residents
\nThe Orangutans well they
\nHad no place to go to
\nMost just faded away
\nThe tigers and the elephants
\nThe tapirs yes them too
\nAgain many were slaughtered
\nBy the vile and darkly crew<\/p>\n
The planet shuddered wildly
\nIts lungs forced to collapse
\nThe invasion and the advancement
\nExperienced the prolapse
\nThe pain of it was terrible
\nThe suffering immense
\nSo many sacrificial lambs
\nWho dare see the sense<\/p>\n
And clearly there were victims
\nWho limped into the light
\nArborial apes ofcourse need trees
\nIt had been an unfair fight
\nTheir world had been extinguished
\nAll they could do was die
\nAnd be burned to a cinder
\nAsking themselves why<\/p>\n
What was in the three per cent
\nThat turned the tide and made
\nThe human beings burn their world
\nAnd hope eternal fade
\nSurvivors there were some
\nWho crawled scorched hearts
\nAll broken by
\nThey sat atop a tree branch
\nStaring to the sky
\nOthers were found on the ground
\nWandering in pain
\nAnd so they found their cages
\nWhere they all could go insane<\/p>\n
Some became pets some were drafted
\nInto circus into zoos
\nWhere they were then recrafted
\nDressed up in humans clothes
\nNews views
\nThis is what their world became
\nBecause of me and you
\nWe were part of the ninety seven
\nPer cent
\nAnd What did we do
\nwe looked away
\nIt wasnt that we didnt understand
\nWe just chose to
\nReally just ignore
\nAs their flames were fanned
\nThe show
\nWas now on palm oil
\nProfits coming home to roost
\nOur corporate masters gleefully
\nReceived their profits boost<\/p>\n
Sad eyes broken hearted
\nSouls
\nClung to artificial trees
\nAn odd rubber tyre
\nA concentration camp
\nPut there to please
\nThe squabbling miserable children
\nof the ninetyseven per cent
\nWhose fees paid for the rotten food
\nThat had been heaven sent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
