Woodlands Lullaby

Woodlands degraded, in a sorry state
Where’s the Jalmenus eubulus butterfly?
Who will take action; why do we wait?
How will the flowers pollinate?
What if we leave this ecosystem to die?
Woodlands degraded, in a sorry state
Should we leave nature to this fate?
Is it time to bid these woodlands goodbye?
Who will take action; why do we wait?
If I act today, can I slow the rate?
Do I have what it takes to cause an outcry?
Woodlands degraded, in a sorry state
Will anyone hear me before it’s too late?
Does anyone care, or is it just I?
Who will take action; why do we wait?
The woodlands call me to educate
I sing the Jalmenus eubulus’ lullaby
Woodlands degraded, in a sorry state
Who will take action; why do we wait?
