In a corporeal internship...

Tell me, do you know what's going on?
In the jungles of the Amazon?
The rainforests are being destroyed --
This has me more than just annoyed
It's time we showed them that we care.

Of all the places on this earth,
The South American jungle's given birth
To species we'll never see
If we don't end this tradgedy
Afterall, we breathe the same air.

Jungles of the Amazon
Can you picture them all gone?
We must save them while we can
Afterall, it's all up to man...
Everyday that we pass by
More trees and animals die
We must act before it's too late
This problem can no longer wait...

What type of world have we in store?
Extinction means forever more.
If we don't end this problem now,
A dismal future we'll endow
To our kids who'll wish we had tried.

If nothing else, think with some respect
To the problem of the green-house effect --
A serious thing we must face
If we don't try to save this place
This is something from which we can't hide.

Jungles of the Amazon
Can you picture them all gone?
We must save them while we can
Afterall, it's all up to man...
Everyday that we pass by
More trees and animals die
We must act before it's too late
This problem can no longer wait...

Cool poem, Mark. I so understand where you are coming from. Great write here.

Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

Sauni, thank you for the read and reply.  Some day, perhaps, man will understand the repercussion of his ways and conciously decide to change direction towards a more positve path for the benefit of all...
