We Know, by Benjamin Zephaniah

We Know

Monkeys are not doing it,
Snakes are not doing it,
Neither are beetles or fleas,
Lizards are not doing it,
Birds are not doing it,
They know that we need the trees,
Mice are not doing it,
Lice are not doing it,
Cats are not doing it,
Honest,
Bats are not doing it,
I know who's doing it,
Humans are killing the forest.

in Wicked World, by Benjamin Zephaniah

  1. I didn't know this poem by Benjamin Zephaniah's. I think it's awesome. It's quite simple, but it contains a great message. It shows us that we are not the only inhabitants on this planet and that we are not the smartest because the other species are not destroying their own habitat as we are.
