The Murder of Chico Mendes
Chico Mendes was a rubber tapper; a simple man who lived a simple life, Content under the tarp of his beautiful rainforest with his children and his wife, As the forest fell at a staggering rate; under a chainsaw oiled with greed, He bravely stepped up with the few others who dared; to help this fellow creature in need.
He never backed down even after he received anuncio, He'd say something like if you have to die for what you believe in; you should be proud to go, So he worked hard to bring the world's attention to this catastrophe, Until the dogs finally cut him down; like another rainforest tree.
The murder of Chico Mendes seems so typical of this world, People will kill; cheat and swindle anywhere the green flag of money is unfurled, Now; hundreds have died in this particular war of dollars and sense, But I'm so afraid that Chico and all the others died at their own expense.
