Before the merciless strike of the axe,
There is one question we must ask,
Do we wound one that gives?
Then why, we must ask
Do we hurt every nature’s being that lives?
Do we carelessly damage a loved one?
Then why, we must ask
Do we discard nature’s children once their course is done?
Do we turn a blind eye to a dear one’s screams and tears?
Then why, we must ask
Are we oblivious to nature’s warnings, even as its gems disappear?
Do we stab a brother for our need?
Then why, we must ask
Do we slaughter Mother Nature’s treasures, simply for our greed?
Let’s join together, hand in hand
Let’s take a pledge to protect our home and take a stand
To reserve the beauty and wealth of our lands.
Something must be done quick,
Before the matter is out of our hands.
