- Do not look upon me
With shame, pity or sadness
Do not despise my sad ugly state
For I have not always been this way
- Once upon a time
My leaves were green and shiny
Colourful flowers graced my head
And my crown was of delicious fruits
- Once upon a time
My rivers flowed with clean water
Fresh and refreshing was each breath of air
Many were the wildlife in my big forests
- Once upon a time
Seas were a beauty to behold
Void of plastic, oil or all that spoil
Fish were plenty as birds were happy
- So I appeal to you
If I have ever made you smile
If you have found comfort under my shade
Or pleasure in my many shades and shapes
- So I appeal to you
If you desire my joy and wellbeing
As much as I cherish your health and laughter
Arise and plead my case, let me find a saviour in you.
