Atlantic blue crush
Unequalled Amazon Reef
Hard red algae
Supreme low-light
Oxygen-makers!
World’s largest River
Twelve billion yearly
Vrooming silt tons,
Muddy magic
Two hundred twenty-two
Yawning hidden metres,
Nowhere else Reef species,
Sponges drubbing cancers!
Enter Brazilian Petrobras
BIG subsidised OIL,
Seismic surveying
Smithereens smashers,
Fifty-six thousand
Kilometres squared,
Incomparable corals
Seventy fish kinds
Cetaceans
Sea turtles
Sharks
More,
Petrobras doomed Reef.
President Lula
Protect the Reef!
Terminate
Seismic mayhem.
Montreal COP15
Nature-related taskforce,
Forty corporations
Overseers,
Planetary wreckers
Voluntary initiatives,
Insane psychobabble!
Earthly uproar
Ever-growing,
Upright hearts
Mother’s goodness
Courageous Climate Gen,
Aggressive direct action
Four point two billion strong!
Agitate. Disrupt. Defend.
