The Dying Lung


Tree
By Tree.
Count to Three,
Timbeeer!,
Two are gone,
Another is born,
Killing Our lung,
Digging her Diamonds,
For Our Earthy demons,
Making Earth Naked,
RainForest.
Filling human's thirst
Of Money to make papers
For ignorants to write on,
And Houses made of wood.
By Katrina They couldn't have stood.
Cutting One more tree,
Causing Extinction
Of Millions Species,
Of Millions Ecosystems.
Living under one umbrella,
Made of Amazon,
And being Burned by Greedy Morons.

Amazon's Species: The region is home to ~2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, and some 2000 birds and mammals.
Amazon Rainforest: Amazonian evergreen forests account for about 10% of the world's terrestrial primary productivity and 10% of the carbon stores in ecosystems.
Because of the increased pace of rainforest destruction 24,000 sqr.kms of rain forest were cut down in 2003 alone, Deforestation figures. About 15-18,000 sqr.kms of the Amazon rainforest is disappearing annually that's like somehow destroying two Qatar every year.
In Brazil alone, European colonists have destroyed more than 90 indigenous tribes since the 1900's. With them have gone centuries of accumulated knowledge of the medicinal value of rainforest species. As their homelands continue to be destroyed by deforestation, rainforest peoples are also disappearing.
Brazil Diamonds and gold: it is estimated that since the discovery of diamonds in Brazil (1723) the total yield has been 12,000,000 carats, valued at $100,000,000. Brazil is the 4th largest Gold producer in the World, 50,393 kg of gold in 2000.Brazil is one of the richest country in the World, the problem is high population, and corruptions.
