Ecocide

Silenced in the roar of the flames
After the screams and the dying, nothing remains
Desecrated, slashed, burned to the ground
In the frenzy of greed, cries of protest are drowned

The Earth dies, ecocide, the Earth's forests laid
Forever to waste
Thoughts of the future trampled in their haste
Corporations with their dollar sign focus
Ravage the Amazon like a plague of locusts

Plumes of black smoke ascend into the sky
A forest of beautiful creatures senselessly dies
Smoking fields of devastation left in mankind's wake
With populations left to grow and greed, they justify this rape

The power of the Dollar can't take precedence
Over the inevitable detrimental consequence
The time to react is long overdue
From protest to confrontation by me and by you
