Vile Man

Of all the vile and wild creatures Walking on planet earth Man is the vilest and wildest. A serpent will not come knocking on your door Armed with a machete or a gun or a grenade And knock down your teeth or maim or kill But man will rape, plunder, kill and mutilate Even the unborn, the crawling and the crying For man, innocence is no excuse, no defence I saw him fell a tree with a thousand nestlings And thousands of un-hatched eggs to boot For he needs to fell the tree so that he Can have a playground there at that very spot Where a life lies breathing but soon to die! These cattle egrets have been here for years These trees have been here five decades or More precisely longer than you can imagine Housing and protecting these lovely birds That now have to search the horizon For a new home, a new habitation For vile man will not let them be!
