a message to the world
Wars will be fought
and millions will perish
unless we look after
this world that I cherish.


All the world leaders
just standing in line
destroying the planet
one small piece at a time.


Film stars and rock gods
all acting so humble
committed to saving
the Amazon Jungle.


Don't they know that in life
there are no guarantees?
We still could be left
in a world without trees.


But they'll all want a piece
and the powers that be
will decide on the future
of this solitary tree.


The last of its kind
a definitive warning
if we just sit back and
ignore global warming.
