No Room for Nature

Where did the forest go daddy?
Where did the warblers go mommy?
We don't know honey
Six billion and growing–no room for nature

More homes, cars, planes, and ships
Carnage along the road, in the air, and on the sea
More toxins and congestion to endure
Why must this be–can we not see

More CO2 and the days are getting warmer
Ice caps melting…coral reefs dying
Politicians turn away and count their contributions

Where did the forest go daddy?
Where did the warblers go mommy?
We don't know honey
Six billion and growing–no room for nature

The garden is God's enduring inspiration and teacher
"Fill the Earth and subdue it"…accomplished three times over
"Take care of it"…killing thousands of species a year
Our life-support system

People say, my children are smarter and must be born
Yet, the smart people have caused the most harm
Breeding wars erupt…adoption and other nurturing alternatives ignored

Where did the forest go daddy?
Where did the warblers go mommy?
We don't know honey
Six billion and growing–no room for nature

More technology, economic expansion, and war to save us
Living on a finite planet
Ignorance, arrogance, and apathy
Why must this be…can we not see

Where did the animals go papa?
Where did the butterflies go mama?
We don't know honey
Six billion and growing–-no room for nature
