Rainforests Disappearing

by Savannah Skye (Savvy)

Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Rainforests that are the lungs of Mother Gaia
Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Like my breath into infinity's death
Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Disappearing into the illusion of our maya
Disappearing while they struggle to live
Disappearing into dark days of oppression
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
Disappearing at one and a half acres a second
Rainforests disappearing
Gone, gone, gone - forever gone
Gone forever into the ethers of human destruction
Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Leaving us to quantify the consequences
Consequences that only lead us to abstract figures
Abstract figures that are filled with capitalistic numbers of nothingness
Numbers of nothingness that hide within the shadows of loss' deduction
Rainforest species disappearing disappearing disappearing
Disappearing by the hundred's each day
Indigenous tribes disappearing disappearing disappearing
Indigenous tribes traded for bigger profit margins of multi-national companies
Uprooted so that we can all have our amenities while ignoring their security
Indigenous tribes disappearing into a sea of greed's tide that equals cultural genocide
Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Like life when death is nearing

Rise Up

by Savannah Skye (Savvy)

Come on people
Rise up
Dissent to represent
Step away from fear
Join together this new year
Rise up
Take action not defaction
Liberate
Demonstrate
Don't procrastinate
Rise Up
Congregate
To relate
To debate
To amass
To appeal
To get real
Rise up
To unite
To project
To protest
Fight the right
Rise up
Take no more
Fight global whores
Stop the war
Rise up
Take back the power
In this dark hour
Let the systems fall
