There's a Fire in the Forest

There's a fire in the forest

There's fire in the forest
It burned down dead trees
And bushes and dry leaves

Animals had to run

Or they become burnt meat

When the fire is over
New trees grew
And the animals came back
For the forest is new

Trees, bushes, sun
All is well
Until men came with guns

They killed the animals
And cleared the forest

Animals died
Trees were cut
Forests died
Men, - they lied

It is mad
Men are bad
Children will be sad
Of the wonderful things
they never had.
