I Am the Amazon River
by Zach L.
Year after year I watch the
Amazon Rain Forest shrink. Humans stealing the homes
and lives of animals and trees, and cutting down
this wonder land with the chain of a saw.
I'm home to over 2000 species
either lingering in my rocky bottoms
or gasping for air at my water's top.
All live in peace in my gigantic body.
But some do not see the peace and harmony among
the animals and few trees that live in me, buy I do see that they
need jobs and money, but there is a better way of life than killing.
Every year I try to protect my friends,the trees and animals,
by raising my body as high as I can, transforming the Rain Forest
into a flooded forest, preventing the loggers, pharmaceutical
companies and minors, from ruining this wonder land, and stealing
the homes and lives of the first world in the Amazon Rain Forest.
