Amazon

Our Amazon’s ablaze

We can’t breathe, that haze

We’ve wrested the future

Our children will have fewer

Leaves, delicate eyes

We roll the dice

We’re careless, they die

To children, we can’t lie

History’s cut and dry

It won’t turn a blind eye

To callous disregard

As a living jewel’s charred

We’re the cowards

Misusing our powers

Letting the Amazon die

With an indignant sigh
