The Orange-Bellied Parrot

I guess it won’t always be the same
The orange-bellied parrot, what a wonderful name
Is losing its fame
And are we to blame?
Its blue wings won’t flap in the air
You won’t see one in your park, in the tree
Not anywhere.
And what will happen next for our small-headed friends
Will they just disappear
Poof! And they're gone
We can’t see them in another life
So do what we can before their lives are withdrawn
How could we live
And then never forgive
How could we cope
Like a world with hope
Its time to act now
Not tomorrow; until then
Before, you will never know one around
You might not see an orange-bellied parrot again.
