By MAYA GREEN

With chest high, and extoll
Then sing, O my soul
Sing a melody that’s bold
Sing with the sape’ evergreen
Of the rainforests’ born keen

But in fencing him out the world
By the walls we did erect
We’d only walled ourselves in
Letting our guilt remains
In a world, that’s insecure still

In the silence, there is space
A place to go, just for a repose
But we know, we cannot eat money
When the last tree has been felled
And soon realise, it’s just too late
