Birds of the Amazon
"BIRDS OF THE AMAZON –
Below the canopy of trees,
who seek the secrets of the sky
A paradise of colour ,
a world blessed with those who fly.
Macaws of blue and red,
where parrots of blue, are fed
A haven safe for all
A place of home to call
The earth bellows tremble,
The hoot of owl a-miss of tempo.
Eagles take flight with parrots in fright .
Monkeys a chatter as nests lay in scatter.
Monsters of metal, unknown of kin,
Arrive the troops, that know no sin .
As blades of steel rotate in action
Ploughs engage to sow destruction,
Now earth at thunder, no storms yet blunder
Man’s greed arrive with joy of plunder
No home the same,
as monsters of metal discard it with shame "
