Mining Madness

Greedy diggers working,
Finding gold selling soul for fame and money
But yet no one sees the
Devastated lives of the land left behind.
The burst of hot dark gas ruled the land.
I could hear the foolish laughs
Nature calls me, it wants me to help them
Country cries as its last tree dies
The magpie sits silently while its wings burn in agony
Land clearing
The sound of the wind, prancing of the tree
Birds singing different tones,
The smile that the trees give me is gone
The unheard lies behind all of this
Mining madness
