THE BURNING FORESTS ASK, "WHY ARE WE REDUCED TO MERE ASHES?"

THE BURNING FORESTS ASK, "WHY ARE WE REDUCED TO MERE ASHES?"

Ah! Why are we rampantly and regrettably reduced to mere ashes:

Being charred alive as chickens or pigs to be served for some rogues' satisfaction dishes,

To feed some's political revenge, or to pacify others' highly condemnable and savage rage, 

Passing ceaselessly, for committing no sins, sleepless nights, and excruciating days?

Ah! Why are we recklessly and remorsefully reduced to mere ashes:

To result in an inordinate surge in heat and worrisome depletion of ozone gases,

To cause for the deadly droughts, furious famines and fatal floods,

To squeeze swiftly the life span of the Earth, and nip forever the uncountable smile buds?

O mad Men! Your horrendous blunders woo the untimely and deafening thunders,

Your insensible and ignorant blaze to erase our habitats force to blast the fire cylinders,

Your dastardly and delightful distractions  invite the woeful global destructions,

Your wilful insanity gash the lungs of the Creation leading to sweeping cremations!

Thus, before it's too late, unless you stop sensibly scorching us once and for all,

You too, O the ingrate traitors, will go with us what irrefutably discourses Time's Oracle!
