They have become
enemies of the world
Enemies indeed I say
Of our pretty blue planet.

You see, growing up taught me
Two important life lessons
That a family that stays together
fights together,
And that our actions bring back with them
Consequences that impact our lives
Well the first may not be true always
But you all agree with me,
Make wise decisions if you wanna live

Preach that message to all creatures,
All except man
For he is busy destroying
What nature took millennia to build
Climate change has been a hot issue
That he has done little about
And now thanks to his cutting of trees
And release of toxic fumes
Our forests are a blazing furnace
Rendering our entire population
Homeless and hopeless
It’s so funny that he is now trying
to correct his wrongs
by putting out the fire for us
But the damage has already been done
A salute to man for that.

Let’s just hope we will find
A nice and new forest to live in
Or just end up at an orphanage
like millions of others
Where we will enjoy fresh eucalyptus again
trying to forget that this ever happened.
