The Fire Rages On

The Amazon is burning
Human carelessness the cause
Environmentalists blame policies

From Brazilian government laws.
It will have a tragic impact the
Rainforest is 
Earth's lung

Reducing global emissions,
A habitat for animals and their young.
Globally it's a catastrophe
Each one of us must pray
Satellites show devastation

Of high temperatures and smoke all thick and grey.
No more deforestation. Don't choke the nation.

Panagiota Romios Date: 9/5/2019 5:57:00 PM Did you know they are showing footage of the fire in 2013 in the Amazon which was far worse to scare the heck out of us today! Glad you care about the worldL Pamagiota Unfair reporting, I loathe it, Pamagiota Login to Reply Elizabeth Kinch Date: 9/6/2019 3:41:00 AM Why do we have to be lied to by the media? I didn't know that the footage was from 2013, what is the point of that? It makes me mad.
