children

angry
trapped
children possessed
fighting screaming
children unrest

material yearn
selfish turn
snatch
grab
hate

overwhelming
overreaching
forced to listen
teachers preaching

crying
screaming
crying
moan
crying until
mums take them home

Answers for our forest

We all want answers -
Our forests are in a mess

Leaders lie
Loggers try
To escape the truth

It's too complex
To learn in class
It's too easy to ignore

But follow the tracks
They  cover up more and more and more

Still complex are the lies
I'm on the edge of my seat
Pale and frail wondering if we will ever win

Can we close all the files and win our case
Stop the gases and the anger burning within?
