Problem of the Rainforest

by Stephen

 

Loggers cut trees

Farmers plant with ease

Miners dig

Oilers rig

Loggers think they help

but soon they will know.

At this rate

the rain forest will have to go.

 

Help let people know

They say soon the forest will have to go.

 

Some creatures are gone.

Loggers wake at the break of dawn.

Loggers log on and on.

Acre by acre it will be gone.

Only then will it dawn that it is gone.

They say soon the forest will have to go.

 

Miners search for gold.

Mercury makes plants look old.

Some plants shrivel and die.

Other plants slowly fry.

They say soon the rain forest will have to go.
