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
