Forgive us

Dear Amazon Rainforest,


I fear for you,

Mainly about what you’ll become

If all this destruction continues.

I’ve only seen pictures of you,

But you’ve never seen me,

though I am part of the reason

You are in this predicament.

Let's be honest,

Your resources are greatly appreciated.

Yet taken for granted,

Being constantly abused.

I’m sorry for your loss,

A lot of your family is gone,

And that isn't because of you.

Us.

People need you,

But we shouldn't have done this to you.

When I think and hear about you,

Deforestation, fire, and loss ring throughout my head.

Sorry.

On behalf of us.
