Ormeau Myrtle

Its hidden beauty
From our fires
The last survivor
The last believer
Fading, fading, fading away
But we don't care
We just ignore its cries of help
Its dying leaves crushed by your sword of hate
It flowers picked for people with no hearts
Its tears are endless
Life slipping away
Just like our care for climate
While we watch carelessly
Until one day there is only one left
We leave until it could be too late
But I believe that there is still hope
There are pieces of life
Join me
And save Ormeau Myrtle
