Apology to the Wollemi pine

Oh, Wollemi pine
How you did no crime
Yet your babies have been cut away
For my people are selfish
Their desires are endless
And their blindness has caused your decay
Your beauty is grand
You’re part of earth's plan
To forever hold the ground
Oh, Wollemi pine
As tall as the sky
You make my heart so ecstatic
Yet people come along
All selfish and wrong
And trade your life for plastic
