The Amazon is burning; no one cares
It’s just some third-world jungle far away
The blackened mess you see is only theirs
Brazil will clean it up another day
But what about the oxygen we need
Will someone else replace our needed breath
So, life begins with just a little seed
But when it burns it brings a darkened death
The sky is smokey apathy above
The planet burns in apathy below
The Amazon may be a place to love
But if we let it burn, we’ll never know
Take comfort in the Amazon’s last breath
Take comfort as you suffocate to death.
