Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Rainforests the lungs of Mother Gaia

Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Disappearing like my breath into finite death
Disappearing into the illusion of maya
Disappearing into dark days of oppression
Disappearing as they struggle to live

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 disappearing
Gone, gone, gone
Forever goner into the ethers of human destruction

Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Disappearing one and a half acres a second

Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Leaving us to quantify the consequences
That only lead us to abstract figures
Filled with capitalistic numbers of nothingness
Hiding within the shadows of loss' deduction

Indigenous tribes disappearing disappearing disappearing
Disappearing into profit margins of multi-national companies
Uprooted so we can have our amenities while ignoring their security
Disappearing into a sea of greed's tide of cultural genocide

Rainforest species disappearing disappearing disappearing
Disappearing by the hundred's each day
Never to walk God's green earth again

Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Like life when death is nearing

Brilliant powerful poem...

that carries a very strong message about our very survival. How I wish that it could be sent to every CEO of every company in the world. How I wish that every politician would read your words and take action.
