Rain Forest
(???? ??????)
Rain pours down upon the trees.
A lonely MaCaw cried beneath the leaves.
I for one stand and cry.
No one knows how I try.
Frolicking frogs jump real spry.
Oh what woah the lumber Jack bestows.
Rallying bulldozers to run over everything below.
Every bird, insect, animal, person left without a home.
Scattered and lost they are left to roam.
The end is sad, and I stand alone.

T M I ?
Reptiles disappear, bulldozers thunder
Arboreal locomotion no longer
Indigenous people scatter with hunger
No more homes for the animals you see
For man has chopped down every tree
Oh what woah the lumber Jack bestow.
Raining - hides the tears that flow
Every tree they say must go...
Scattered and lost man is left to roam.
The end is sad, and I stand alone.
WHAT AM I?
