Deforestation

Elijah O'Callaghan 2009 (Adelaide)

Deforestation has to stop,
before all the trees have dropped.
They give us air,
they give us life.
So why O' why do we cause all this strife?
I hate them ever so much,
those men with chainsaws and claws,
who don't care at all, for the damage they cause.
Deforestation has to stop,
before all the trees have dropped.
