Rain Forest
Indigenous peoples forced to fight
To remain in balance with the land
Their ancient ways in compromise
Their spiritual truth in the mist it hides.
They come with machines
And righteous dreams
No direction except to eat
The noble savage in defeat.
Plunder the land
Pollute the water
Extract the metals
Breed and settle.
The indigenous peoples
Through courage and pain
Must compromise to remain
Temporary relief in a sea of shame.
But the damage is done
Nothings been won
Minds on the run
Sucked into the gun.
This is our world in decay
Our dying display
Procreative irresponsibility
Devouring our children like cannibals to stay.

AS LONG AS PEOPLE ALLOW, and as long as the majority of human beings thinks that it all happens because ~ TARZAN, JANE and their adopeted Chimpanzee ~ are dead, the Plutocrats and Mammon's soldiers will keep on the devastation of the planet.
I have enjoyed the reading of "Rain Forest".
Never rest Your pen, Poet.
In reverent admiration,
