Gaia's Maya...
From your sheltering trees
To your wondrous peaks
Your vast seas
To your trickling creeks
We do hear your desperate pleas
For us to recycle, reduce and reuse
The vast amount of refuse
That we humans do cause
With our reckless abuse
From landfill to landfill
We do defile you
With our humongous waste pile
For it is you that we slowly kill
As well as ourselves
With our disregard for nature
By raping your land
Thinking we are grand
This is why we all must take a stand
To protect you from us all
By listening to your seasonal call
That takes us through
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
For it is you, oh Mother of us all
Who brings us into your hearth
Like a mother to its child
After giving birth
So from this day forward
Dear Mother Earth
We do make a pact
To try and protect you
From our harmful acts
So that we leave behind
For the next 7 generations
A sky that is true
And trees that are kind

Rainforests Disappearing...
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 nature'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 peoples 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
Indigenous species disappearing disappearing disappearing
Disappearing by the hundred's each day
Never to walk on this green earth again
Rainforests disappearing disappearing disappearing
Like life when death is nearing
