Nature's Friends

Their protests loggers and sawmillers don't please But to those noble souls who fight to save the trees One well might say respect is overdue On Nature's behalf such great work they do The loggers and sawmillers have been known to say That all tree huggers in jails should be locked away For when they come to protest in the State owned wood They are interfering with their livelihood. Still for their livelihood there's a huge price to pay As most of the old growth forests have been cut away And if the loggers say that they too for Nature care Then they ought to go and search for work elsewhere. For with the balance of Nature they interfere As due to loss of habitat wild life disappear And many species of animals and birds becoming rare And of Nature's ways far too many unaware. And though the loggers and sawmillers they don't please I salute all of those who fight to save the trees They are Nature's friends and respect to them is due But sad to say that their numbers far too few.
