Rainforests Disappearing

Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Rainforests that are the lungs of Mother Gaia
Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Like my breath into infinity's death
Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Disappearing into the illusion of our maya
Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Disappearing into the face of their death
Disappearing while they struggle to live
Disappearing into their dark days of oppression
as they stand stoically with the splendor
of their grandeur

Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Each year more rainforests disappearing
Disappearing thru short-sighted plundering
With man and machine doing God's thundering
Rainforests disappearing
Disappearing at one and a half acres a second
Rainforests disappearing
Gone, gone, gone - forever gone
Gone forever into the ethers of human destruction
While leaving us to quantify the consequences
Consequences that only lead us to abstract figures
Abstract figures that are filled with capitalistic
numbers of nothingness
Numbers of nothingness that hide within the shadows
of loss' deduction

Rainforest species disappearing disappearing disappearing
Disappearing by the hundred's each day
Indigenous tribes disappearing disappearing disappearing
Indigenous tribes uprooted for bigger profit
margins of multi-national companies so that we
can all have our amenities while ignoring their
security
Indigenous tribes disappearing into a sea of greed's tide
that equals cultural genocide

Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Like life when death is nearing
