The Cry of Offspring

My grandfather You have killed all panthers And I can’t see any panda Is it because of thunder? Sometimes I wonder But in fact it’s because of hunters You built your home indeed But you knowledge is like a homicide Your absence of teeth makes you not to talk But tell me why you stalk Now your deeds without fears Have lead to my tears You found a nice vegetation But you caused deforestation You did too much destruction But not construction Your deeds without fears Have lead to my tears You knew that you bear But you didn’t care Oh! That’s not fair You must be aware Your deeds without fears Have lead to my tears Now people are still cutting down trees And they don’t want to cease I can even cry when I gaze Where am I going to graze Ah! I’m on ablaze A really big blaze I can’t see your love Because you have made me to starve You’ve finished all environmental stuff Yet nothing I have Your deeds without fears have lead to my tears You are now telling me to plant But I can’t Of course I can beautify But I can’t purify Your deeds without fear Have lead to my tears I always think about the next stayers Who will be there Are they going to see even a hare Of course they can fare Provided they dare And it’s always in my prayer Now the living ones Let’s stand again So that we can gain Let’s replace what we obtain If we cut one tree We should plant more than three Let’s farm planet earth We should make it wealth To make our lives health Let’s make it green For the shade of grandpa and granny Because it’s really sunny.
