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 inevetable detrimental
Consequence. The time to react is long overdue
From protest to confrontation by me and by you
