Wildlife
Wrote this about the inhumanity of man and corporate progress.
The mowing was stopped by the frog on the hop
The frog in the grass, so the mowing did stop
The privets well, they just grew and grew
I don't break birds eggs and no chicks do I kill
The digging did stop when a worm I did see
Worms look best whole, don't you agree
This is just Scott's philosophy
Wild life is sacred, well its sacred to me
But the men with bulldozers, they don't give a damn
When they build their new slip road across the farm land
The seventeen oak trees they sawed to the floor
The chicks and the birds eggs, well they were no more
Its illegal to kill chicks if you know they are there
But the construction officials, they do not care
The road has to go where it says on the charts
So they slaughter the wildlife. The men with no hearts
