Deception

A silhouette..the tallest..
Sadly..drooping free 
Surrounded by her children's bones 
Just another tree

Saved by worries for another 
Endangered..so they say 
Who gives a hoot..in fact..it's moot
Greenday's had it's day

Environment's requirements...
Pale..to the bill
Lobbyists..economists 
Coffers...large..to fill

Governments attempt to sway 
The public.. to believe 
They're not in hand with corporate grand
Sadly..they deceive 

You..and me..and all we be 
All that gives us life 
Wanting..needing..mother's bleeding 
We've fallen on the knife 

Of greed
